Abstract
The authors encountered a case of a rare sized huge congenital angioma of the sclap and cured it by total removal.A two-month-old male infant was born at full term by spontaneous vaginal delivery. A tumor the size of an adult's fist was recognized at the left temporal region. Selective external carotid arteriogram revealed four main feeders: namely occipital artery, frontal branch and parietal branch of superficial temporal artery, and posterior auricular artery. The main drainers were occipital vein and superficial temporal vein. At operation, this tumor was easily stripped from galea and was noted to have a capsule. While the feeders were being tied off and sectioned, the tumor rapidly reduced in size. Then, after ligation and sectioning of the occipital vein and superficial temporal vein as drainers, the tumor was removed in its original form.In the histological examination of this tumor, it was observed that inner layer of the epithelial tissue was almost evenly filled with capillary, thus, providing a diagnosis of capillary angioma.
