Objective:
The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment outcomes following various managements of hemangiomas.
Study Design:
Sixty-two patients were included and retrospective review conducted. Based on clinical management, each patient was assigned different treatment groups: steroid, sclerotherapy, surgical, and combined therapy. Treatment outcomes were evaluated based on improvement in size, color, and texture by a blinded panel of 4 raters including 3 doctors and 1 patient or patient's parents. Finally, comparison of outcomes between groups was analyzed.
Results:
The results revealed that there was reduction in size and improvement in color and texture following intervention in each group. No significant difference in outcome was observed between groups regarding change in size and texture. However, color change was better in combined and surgical treatment groups.
Conclusions:
A favorable outcome can be achieved following appropriate intervention during all stages of development of hemangiomas.
