A Histologic finding of the Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita( CMTC) is non-specific, but dilated capillaries and increased number of vessels are often observed. Capillary hemangioma, mostly represented by strawberry nevus, may show various clinical manifestations. We report a case of Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, which may be an unusual clinical presentation of capillary hemangioma.

Capillary hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor in childhood; however, its occurrence in the bronchus is extremely rare. We recently performed a sleeve resection of the left main bronchus on a four-month-old infant with a severe emphysema caused by bronchial capillary hemangioma.

A case of Maffucci's syndrome is reported in a 6-year-old girl. She had multiple enchondromas of the long bones and the phalangeal bones with hemangiomatous skin lesions. The hemangiomas were the capillary type and were not anatomically related to the bone lesions.

BACKGROUND: The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level is widely used to monitor glycemic control in diabetes mellitus patients, and various methods are used for its determination. The CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX Piercing (Sebia) is a fully automated, high-throughput glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) analyzer based on capillary electrophoresis. METHODS: The analytical performance of the CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX Piercing analyzer was evaluated for its precision, linearity, correlation with the Variant II Turbo (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) analyzer, and its vulnerability to interference by carbamylated hemoglobin. We also investigated its agreement with National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) targets. All evaluations were performed according to CLSI guidelines EP05, EP06, and EP09. RESULTS: The coefficients of variation (CVs) for within-run and total imprecision were 1.7% and 1.8% at low concentrations and 1.2% and 1.3% at high concentrations, respectively. Linearity was excellent, with R2=0.9882 in the range of 5.13-13.83%; these results highly correlated with those produced by Variant II Turbo (R2=0.9978). The 95% confidence interval (for differences from the NGSP target) was -0.3618-0.3343%. No significant interference of carbamylated hemoglobin was noted. CONCLUSIONS: The CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX Piercing analyzer showed excellent precision and linearity. Its results correlated with those obtained by the Variant II Turbo analyzer, and were agreement with the NGSP target. Therefore, its analytical performance is satisfactory for diabetes diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

Hemangioma of the testis is an extremely rare lesion, more or less than 10 cases having been reported in infancy or early childhood in the world. We have experienced one case of capillary hemangioma of the left testis in 6 year old Korean male, which was suspicious to be a malignant tumor.

We present a case of intradural extramedullary capillary hemangioma of the thoracic spine with a long segment of transient cord edema. Spinal capillary hemangiomas are extremely rare vascular tumors and only a few cases have been reported. On the MR images, the mass showed hypointensity on the T1-weighted images, hyperintensity on the T2-weighted images relative to the spinal cord, and strong homogeneous enhancement on the contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. The T2-weighted images showed a long segment of ill-defined hyperintense area in the spinal cord which was completely resolved after surgery.

Vascular tumors of the breast are a rare disease. A hemangioma in the male breast is an extremely rare benign disease. We report a case of a 53-year-old-man with a capillary hemangioma of the breast.

Capillary hemangioma of the tracheobronchial tree is an extremely rare benign tumor in adults, especially those located in the bronchus. Characteristics and treatment of capillary hemangiomas of adult tracheobronchial trees have not been well known. We present a 61-year-old man with hemoptysis, which was caused by a small tiny nodule in the left lingular segmental bronchus. The nodule was removed by a forcep biopsy, via flexible bronchoscopy, and it was revealed to be capillary hemangioma. A small isolated endobronchial capillary hemangioma can be treated with excisional forcep biopsy, but a risk of massive bleeding should not be overlooked.

PURPOSE: To report a case of periorbital infantile capillary hemangioma treated with propranolol as a single therapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 3-month-old girl with a growing red-purple mass on the right lower eyelid visited our clinic. The patient was diagnosed with capillary hemagioma by imaging studies. The mass had grown rapidly, and the visual axis was obscured in the follow-up. Oral propranolol therapy was initiated at a starting dose of 0.17 mg/kg at 8-hour intervals. After 2 doses, the propranolol was doubled, and after another 2 doses, the daily dose of 0.67 mg/kg divided into 3 was maintained. Three days after the initiation of the treatment, the color of the hemangioma had changed from red-purple to light purple, and the hemangioma had softened. The hemangioma continued to respond well with no side effects in the following 10 months. CONCLUSIONS: The authors suggest that oral propranolol treatment as a possibility of an effective and safe option for the vision-threatening periorbital capillary hemangioma as a single therapy.
