message: 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.

message: Angioma is also a general term for all kinds of vascular anomalies both congental and acquired. It would make this page even more confusing.
"Vascular Anomalies" is the best encompassing heading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philbek (talk • contribs) 08:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Dear folks, as a layman who is fretting over an ultrasound diagnosis, I found what I would say is a significant omission
on this page, to wit, no mention of Hepatic Hemangioma. May I suggest an addition to address this other usage for the term Hemangioma? Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.28.184.145 (talk) 07:32, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other Hemangiomas 

message: The Terminology section says there have been "recent" changes to hemangioma terminology. Obviously "recent" and words like it are not ideal for a living document as such terms do not scale and become maintenance challenges. What's "recent" today becomes less and less recent as time goes by. For accuracy, and to keep the information from going stale, it would be much better to use an exact date, or to use some other wording or term that's less vague than "recent." This section cites one source, from 1982. Assuming the "recent" terminology changes occurred any time before or around 1982, using the term "recent" to describe them is extremely inaccurate. We need to specify an approximate or specific point in time in which these changes began to occur/were introduced. If it's true that books and dictionaries still haven't incorporated these changes, we can still say that (although if it is the case that the terminology changes were introduced >25 years later, it would be worth finding out why because it could indicate that there is lack of consensus or something else going on that we should mention in the interest neutrality and NPOV). I will see what I can find out and do to make this section more accurate/current. In the meantime, if anyone with knowledge about this comes along, please consider updating this article.

thread_title:  "Mulliken et al" 

message: The word aggeio is given as the etymology of the -angi- part of the word. The form as given is the Modern Greek form. We do not usually see Modern Greek in etymologies. In Classical Greek the word requires a smooth breathing on the initial alpha, a circumflex accent on the iota of the penultimate syllable, and a final nu.
Apologies - I see the Greek characters given do not allow for the correct representation of Classical Greek. Tchoh. As you were. Signed A. Pedant (Cape Town)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.99.153 (talk) 16:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

> TREATMENT: IHs. Oral propranolol 2–3 mg/kg/day is currently the treatment of choice.... The goal dose is usually 2–3 mg/kg/day in divided doses. Although the IH shrinks rapidly with oral propranolol, a minimum of 6 months of therapy is recommended.... Recurrence after the discontinuation of propranolol occurs in 10–15% of cases.
