Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl hydroxylase and factor...
Capillaries and Their Types01:20

Capillaries and Their Types

Capillaries, a crucial constituent of the circulatory system, are diminutive vessels with a diameter between 5–10 micrometers, accommodating perfusion to the tissues through the phenomenon known as microcirculation. Through their permeable walls, consisting of an endothelial layer ensconced by a basement membrane and sporadically dispersed smooth muscle fibers, the exchange of substances between the blood and the interstitial fluid becomes plausible. Variance in wall composition exists, with...
Mechanism of Angiogenesis01:10

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

Blood vessel formation starts early during embryonic development, around day 7. In the extraembryonic yolk sac, mesodermal precursor cells called hemangioblast proliferate and differentiate into angioblast. Angioblasts express vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 or VEGFR2, which binds VEGF-A, a proangiogenic factor, guiding blood vessel formation. VEGF signaling promotes angioblasts to form a blood island in the developing embryo. Angioblasts further differentiate, giving rise to...
Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Vascular Lesions
  • Pediatric Case Reports

Background:

  • Capillary hemangiomas are common vascular tumors, typically presenting in infancy.
  • Lesions in adolescents are less common, and persistent plaques are unusual presentations.
  • Differential diagnosis for congenital or acquired leg plaques is broad.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a persistent capillary hemangioma presenting as a hyperpigmented plaque.
  • To highlight the unusual clinical presentation and long-term persistence of this vascular lesion.
  • To contribute to the understanding of atypical capillary hemangioma manifestations.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical presentation of a 16-year-old male with a 10-year history of a leg plaque.
  • Dermoscopic examination of the lesion.
  • Histopathological analysis of a biopsy specimen to confirm capillary hemangioma.

Main Results:

  • A 16-year-old boy presented with a 10-year history of a hyperpigmented, velvety, non-compressible plaque on his right leg.
  • Biopsy confirmed the lesion as a capillary hemangioma.
  • The lesion demonstrated an unusual persistent nature.

Conclusions:

  • Capillary hemangiomas can present atypically in adolescents with persistent plaque-like morphology.
  • This case underscores the importance of histopathological confirmation for diagnosing unusual skin lesions.
  • Further research may elucidate the factors contributing to the persistence of such lesions.
