Hemangioma occurrence is often related to genetics and age. Subcutaneous and skin hemangiomas are often formed in childhood; many of them are already present at birth. Hemangioma is definitely the most common benign tumor of children. The positive fact is that the vast majority of these inherited hemangiomas disappear spontaneously. Hemangiomas often affect the internal organs, especially liver tissue. They are frequent in women long-term using the hormonal contraception.
