STUDY OF INCIDENCE AND PRESENTATION OF HEMANGIOMA IN BUNDELKHAND REGION

Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Dr. Kirti Katiyar, Dr. Ashok Kumar

Abstract


Background and objective: There are variety of vascular lesions which are mostly present in childhood. Due to different etiologies and management these are divided in to two groups (a/c to biological classification) tumor or swelling –include infantile hemangioma, congenital hemangioma,  kaposiform endothelioma, pyogenic granuloma and malformation –include arterial venous lymphatic..among these lesion infantile hemangioma (typical) is most common tumor of infancy. This study was taken up to estimate the incidence and presentation of hemangioma (typical) in children of Bundelkhand region. Material and Method: Our study include 1066 children of age group up to 5 yrs..each and every child was examined in detail and record were measured meticulously. Result and Conclusion: Actual incidence is not known. Overall reported incidence is 4-5%.In our study incidence is 3.1%,presented more in male, associated  with prematurity, mostly present as single lesion & distributed more on head (60%),neck(25%) than trunk & extremity(15%)


Keywords
