Abstract

Today, many people worldwide suffer from at least one vascular disease, one of these diseases is the hemangioma. A hemangioma is a vascular tumor which, in many cases, requires surgical intervention. Aproximatively 30% of all hemangiomas are visible at birth. It occurs 5 time more often in females than in males, 83% occur on the head and neck area, the remaining 17 % appear throughout to the rest of the body, externally and internally. The biggest problem is the origin of this tumor. Could we understand how a hemangioma forms, we should be able to accelerate its disappearance, or prevent its growth in the first place.
