Capillary hemangioma managed by the CO2 laser

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Oncology

Background:

• Cervical capillary hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors.
• Surgical excision is a primary treatment modality.

Observation:

• A case of a large cervical capillary hemangioma in a young woman is presented.
• The tumor was successfully removed using carbon dioxide (CO2) laser surgery.

Findings:

• Literature review identified 27 similar hemangioma cases.
• CO2 laser surgery proved effective for this large cervical hemangioma.

Implications:

• This case highlights the efficacy of CO2 laser in managing cervical hemangiomas.
• Further research into CO2 laser characteristics for vascular tumor treatment is warranted.
