Abstract

Purpose – improving the results and efficacy of treatment of children with haemangiomas (HA) located on external covering by applying a classification algorithm.

Material and methods. The clinical retrospective study of children with HA located on external (skin and/or mucosa) covering for the past 10 years was conducted in Podolsk region of Ukraine. The study included an analysis of patient case histories and outpatient case records of children who were hospitalized or underwent outpatient treatment during the period from 2002 to April 2012 with the diagnosis «Haemangioma of external covering».

Results. The applying of the classification algorithm in treatment of children with HA located on external covering permitted to achieve good and satisfactory oncological, functional and cosmetic outcomes in 97% of observations.

Conclusions. The choice of disease management in children with HA located on external covering should be individualized, excluding unreasonable expectant approach of a possible tumor regression. Choice of treatment modality in children with HA located on external covering should be based on the classification algorithm according to its morphological characteristics.
