The share of hemangiomas among benign tumors of sufficient is big and makes about 25%. The vast majority of cases of diagnosing of hemangiomas are the share of children's age. There is a division of hemangiomas on area of localization: hemangiomas of skin, hypodermic cellulose and mucous membranes, hemangiomas of various parenchymatous bodies (first of all liver) and hemangiomas of bodies of a musculoskeletal system.

Sometimes the tumor reaches the huge sizes, taking a half or the most part of the person that steadily leads to functional and cosmetic shortcomings. On the lower extremities the hemangioma of muscles or hypodermic cellulose quite often is found. Here the benign tumor tends to the infiltrative growth and diffusion distribution. Visually integuments can be not changed. At mechanical influence (pressing by a finger) the hemangioma turns pale, decreases, at the influence termination - again gets saturated coloring due to filling with blood. The pulsation of a hemangioma and listening of auskultativny noise over it testifies to the message of a tumor with a large artery. The hemangioma is characterized by rapid growth. If at the birth of the child the dot hemangioma is found, it means that in several months owing to rapid growth the tumor can already reach the big sizes.
