[edit] Diagnosis?

How are internal hemangiomas diagnosed? --Renice 23:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

-- I believe that internal hemangiomas can be located visually. They usually cause some deformity of the body. In other cases where the hemangioma is located near a specific organ, it can disrupt the normal function of the organ any dependent organs. In that case, a problem is not hard to recognize... it's just recognizing the problem. --MykeyJ 09:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is wrong. I am 20 and still have the huge hemangioma that I was born with on my thigh.

[edit] "Rare" complications?

This article could use some more research, as a lot of hemangiomas are not benign and cause many complications. MykeyJ 09:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Laser treatment?

I just talked to my daughter who told me her newborn son is scheduled to see a pediatric dermatologist regarding laser treatment for his hemangioma. She was told this is something they like to do before the baby is 4 months old as it can obviate the need for surgical removal later. I see there's no mention of this in this article.
