“…As many as 50% -98% of hemangiomas regress spontaneously, often making close observation the most appropriate treatment. Different therapies such as topical, systemic or intra-lesional applications of steroid, alpha 2a and 2b interferon injections, cytotoxic medications like bleomycin, angiogenesis inhibitors, embolization, with carbon dioxide or Nd: YAG lasers and conventional surgery have all been described [18] [19]. Imiquimod as 5% cream has also recently been described for the treatment of severe complicated hemangiomas.…”

Tip of nose is most prominent part of the face. It has an aesthetic importance as well as influence on the psyche of children. Midline congenital lesions like dermoid cyst and haemangioma confined to the tip of nose are rare. Being midline structure of body congenital condition like dermoid cyst occurs due to the sequestration of the skin along the lines of embryonic closure. Haemangioma is another common congenital lesion of face in childhood. But haemangioma confined only to tip of nose is uncommon. We present these two uncommon congenital lesions of tip of nose.

“…These treatments consist of agents such as intralesional steroids, topical steroids, imiquimode, and topical timolol [32][33][34][35] . Surgery in hemangiomas of periorbital region with cosmetic and organ dysfunction in selected cases, laser in cutaneous hemangiomas with a depth of not less than 1.2 mm, embolization in liver involvement and Kasabach-Meritt syndrome are the other treatment methods that can be applied [36][37][38] .…”

“…The characteristic feature of haemangiomas is an early and rapid growth proliferation phase, followed by a stabilisation phase and a slow spontaneous regression phase, while during proliferative phase, 80% of all haemangiomas is doubled compared to their initial size [7] . In addition to this, these lesions may cause functional disorders, haemorrhage, and ulceration, while they may also lead to a secondary infection and aesthetic deformity [2,[8][9][10] . Regarding the treatment of infantile haemangiomas, the optimal choice may depend on many factors, which should be taken into consideration by the dermatologist.…”

Abstract:One of the most widely used cutaneous applications of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (laser) concerns the treatment of vascular lesions. During the past two decades, very significant advances in the application of laser technology in dermatology have occurred, with selective photothermolysis being the most important. This review focuses on the application of modern laser devices (Pulsed Dye Laser, or PDL; potassium titanyl phosphate laser, or KTP; diode laser; and neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser, or Nd:YAG), as well as the combination of laser and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of vascular lesions. In lar, both congenital (haemangiomas and port-wine stains) and acquired vascular lesions (facial and leg telangiectasias, rosacea, Poikiloderma of Civatte, spider angioma, pyogenic granuloma, and venous lakes) are discussed. The review of many recent research studies demonstrates that modern applications of lasers in dermatology constitute the finest method for the treatment of vascular lesions, combining the advantages of invasive therapy with the security offered by non-invasive therapy, while in certain cases they are the single and only choice for the treatment of these lesions.Keywords: Va scular lesions; laser; PDL; Nd:YAG; PDT Citation: Tzermias C, Eleftheriadi A, Gkiouzepaki I.
