Question
A friend’s son discovered a hard lump on his hip, which was diagnosed by a doctor as a hemangioma and requires surgical removal. Is this situation serious? Will there be a recurrence after surgery? I want to know more about pediatric hemangiomas.
Answer
Hemangiomas are a common benign skin tumor. The choice of treatment method mainly depends on the size and specific condition of the hemangioma. It is recommended that patients visit a regular hospital’s hemangioma department or dermatology department for a detailed examination. If the hemangioma is small in size, medication therapy can be considered. If medication therapy is not applicable or ineffective, laser or surgical treatment can also be considered.
