Hemangioma plano

Nombres alternativos:

Hemangioma capilar congénito o nevo flamígero

Síntomas:

Los hemangiomas iniciales generalmente son planos y rosados en apariencia, pero a medida que el niño crece, el color se puede intensificar a un tono violáceo o rojo oscuro. Estos hemangiomas se presentan con mayor frecuencia en la cara, pero pueden aparecer en cualquier parte del cuerpo.

Signos y exámenes:

El médico generalmente puede diagnosticar un hemangioma plano examinando la piel.

En casos inusuales, es posible que se necesite una biopsia de piel. Dependiendo de la ubicación del nevo y de otros síntomas, el médico puede ordenar un examen de la presión intraocular o una radiografía del cráneo .
