Separation of vascular lesions into one of the two groups, namely, hemangioma and vascular malformations can be of considerable significance relative to the treatment of patients. They pose serious bleeding risks. A case report is presented here where a patient with a vascular malformation is treated with fixed orthodontic appliances. A coordinated, interdisciplinary approach can result in enhanced patient satisfaction and successful treatment outcomes.

Chorangiosis is a placental vascular abnormality characterized by excessive capillarization in terminal chorionic villi, often associated with chronic placental hypoxia. It is observed in 5%–7% of placentas from neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units and correlates with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. We report a case of a chorangiosis of the placenta revealed in an 18-year-old primigravida who presented with moderate anemia, fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, and underwent elective cesarean section at 36 + 5 weeks. Chorangiosis has been linked to adverse outcomes, including stillbirth and maternal morbidity. This case highlights the importance of considering chorangiosis in the differential diagnosis of placental lesions with atypical ultrasound features. Early recognition, close fetal surveillance, and timely delivery are crucial for optimizing perinatal outcomes in such scenarios.

Infantile hemangiomas are known to be the most common tumors of childhood. These vascular tumors have a distinctive clinical course characterized by a proliferation phase (early and late), followed by a plateau phase and lastly the involution phase. Despite the ability to involute, certain complications, ulcerations being the most common, indicate prompt treatment. Early intervention during the proliferative phase with oral propranolol has been emphasized to achieve an optimum outcome. In this case, a 7-month-old infant presented with a 4.4cm by 3.2cm infantile hemangioma (IH) with ulceration on the left intergluteal area during the late proliferative phase. Prior to propranolol treatment, routine laboratory workup, 21-lead electrocardiogram and ultrasound of the kidneys, ureter and bladder were done, revealing unremarkable results. The patient was referred to a Pediatric Cardiologist and assessment deemed no contraindications for beta-blocker treatment. That patient was placed on a 12-hour day admission for the initiation of oral propranolol at a starting dose of l.0mg/kg/dose and was later discharged, stable, at 1.5mg/kg/dose. Escalation of doses were done by 0.5 every 2 weeks under close supervision on subsequent follow-ups via telemedicine. Four months following the initiation of propranolol treatment regression of the size of the lesion with residual fibrosis were observed. Oral propranolol appears to be an effective and safe therapeutic approach for ulcerated infantile hemangiomas, even during the late proliferative phase. Results achieved significant contraction and resolution of the ulceration and rapid involution of the lesion.

Glottic hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor that is rarely seen in the adult population. We report a rare Filipino case of glottic hemangioma in a 65-year-old female presenting with 2 weeks history of hoarseness and a smooth, pedunculated, bluish mass at the anterior one-third of the right vocal cord in flexible laryngoscopy. Direct suspension laryngoscopy showed a pedunculated mass that was paler-looking, similar to the color of the surrounding mucosa, exhibiting the Phonation sign of Menzel. The patient underwent microlaryngeal excision and histopathology showed findings consistent with cavernous hemangioma.
