Capillary hemangioma (CH) is a benign vascular proliferation comprising small, capillary-sized blood vessels, usually occurring in the skin and soft tissue of children, but seldom occurs in the elderly. Further, hemangioma of the small intestine is not common, but may occur in the ileum segment of children. Its pathogenesis may be linked to congenital anomalies originating from residual embryonic angiogenic cells (1).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
