Note from the Author:
Hemangiomas are common congenital benign tumors or vascular malformations formed by the proliferation of vascular cells during embryonic development, often seen at birth or shortly after. Residual embryonic vascular cells and active endothelial-like buds invade adjacent tissues, forming endothelial-like cords that connect with remaining blood vessels, resulting in hemangiomas. The blood vessels within the tumor form their own system and are not connected to surrounding vessels. Hemangiomas can occur anywhere in the body.
