Abstract:

Objective To investigate the relative factors of local tissue atrophy after treatment of hemangioma (HA) and vascular malformation (VM).

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on 353 HA or VM patients from January 2010 to December 2012, and statistical analysis was performed on the factors that may be related to the occurrence of local tissue atrophy.

Results Among the 353 cases, 17 cases suffered tissue atrophy. The overall incidence of tissue atrophy was 4.82%. Single factor analysis of variance showed that isotope therapy, ulceration and sclerotherapy only were the factors affecting local tissue atrophy (P<0.05). Gender, age, type, cryotherapy had no obvious relation with the occurrence of tissue atrophy (P>0.05). Followed multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that isotope therapy and ulceration were independent risk factors for tissue atrophy, and sclerotherapy only was a protected factor.

Conclusion Sclerotherapy is recommended as the main treatment mean of HA and VM, because of its satisfactory effects on the treatment and low incidence of tissue depression. Nonetheless, the principle of injection should be strictly observed. Isotopic therapy and ulceration are two independent risk factors for tissue atrophy.
