Capillary Hemangioma

Up

Eyelid hemangiomas that present congenitally or in early infancy are ususally of the capillary type ("strawberry marks") (#21832).  These lesions are considered hemartomas.  Histopathologically, these lesions are densely cellular and consist of numerous small, blood-filled channels lined by plump endothelial cells with associated pericytes and little contribution from larger vessels or stroma (#21835) (#21834).  They may appear after birth but usually cease growing by one year of age.  Complete spontaneous regression by five years of age is the rule (in 80-90%).  

 

-(#28166) is another slide of a capillary hemangioma of the eyelid.
