Quick Summary:

  • Hemangiomas are benign malformation of blood vessels that can occur in a number of tissues such as the brain, kidney, liver, lung, skin, and nasal cavity
  • Cherry Hemangiomas are benign growths composed of small blood vessels that occur on skin tissues. They are typically small, cherry-red papules ranging from the size of a pinhead to a quarter inch in diameter. These benign tumors can sometimes rupture and bleed if injured
  • Cherry Hemangiomas are often observed in individuals over the age of 30 years. Exposure to certain chemicals and a family history of the condition are certain risk factors associated with such hemangiomas
  • The cause for development of the condition is not yet well understood. Some studies though, show a genetic component, linking them to MicroRNA 424
  • While Cherry Hemangiomas are generally asymptomatic, they may be treated for cosmetic purposes. The treatment options include removal of the tumor.
  • Currently there are no specific methods or preventative techniques for the formation of Cherry Hemangiomas; however avoidance of certain risk factors may reduce the likelihood of developing this condition
