Abstract:
Objective To investigate a safe, effective and mini-invasive method in the treatment of recurrent cavernous hemangiomas. Methods Under local or ketamine anesthesia, ethanol was injected into hemangioma to embolize the draining vessels, and 8～16 mg pinyangmycin was then injected into the lesion slowly. After 7～10 days, second injection of pinyangmycin and total 3～5 times were needed as a course of treatment. Results In the 6 cases reported, shrinkage and degradation were observed and finally tumor was disappeared. There was no skin necrosis, no recurrence and other complications in the 1～5 years follow-up period. Conclusion Ethanol embolization and pinyangmycin injection is a safe, simple, mini-invasive, and effective method in treating the recurrent cavernous hemangiomas.
