ABSTRACT: Infantile hemangioma and burn hemangioma have many
similarities in clinical pictures, pathology and treatment. As infantile hemangioma
appears usually after birth and then rapidly grow within few months and then a
statue state and then involutes within few years while burn hemangioma so
called burn pyogenic granuloma usually appears within days after burn with
liquid and grow rapidly into many giant angiomatous masses and then after short
time usually weeks or months will involute in more than 37.5% of cases. Hence
burn hemangioma and infantile hemangioma sharing many similar features as both
are angiomatous with
dramatic rapid proliferation of blood vessels that followed by involution but
with different time periods and both carry CD133 and CD34 for infantile hemangioma
and CD34 for burn hemangioma. Also
infantile hemangioma rapidly responds to systemic propranolol and similarly do in cases
of burn hemangioma. Accordingly
it is more better scientifically to call scalded pyogenic granuloma burn hemangioma.
The objective of the present report is to review these conditions and do
comparison between them and also to record 6 cases of burn hemangioma and its effective therapy
with oral propranolol.
