ABSTRACT

Hemangioma is the most common tumor of infancy and childhood. A majority of hemangiomas appear during the first 6 weeks of life. In general, it undergoes involution over time. This tumor occurs more commonly in females, with a ratio of 3 : 1 and is also more frequent in whites than in blacks. Eighty percent of hemangiomas occur as an isolated lesion, whereas 20% are multiple hemangiomas. Anatomical locations of hemangiomas are, in order of frequencies, zygoma, head, lip and tongue, neck, and eyelid. But hemangiomas of external and middle ear are rare. Hemangiomas are divided into 3 types, that is, capillary, carvernous, and capillary-cavernous. Histologically, capillary hemangiomas are usually well-defined but unencapsulated aggregates of closely packed, thin-walled capillaries, usually blood-filled, separated by scant connective tissue stroma. Surgical excision during childhood is indicated after complete regression of hamangioma. There are, however, earlier operative indications for complicated lesion and psychosocial problems.

Recently, the authors have experienced a case of capillary hemangioma of the auricle. So we report it with review of literatures.
