Capillary hemangioma of the eye
Capillary hemangioma is the most common benign tumor in infants and young children. It is also called infantile hemangioma. It is difficult to distinguish it from benign hemangioendothelioma in histology. The tumor mostly occurs under the skin of the inner side of the upper eyelid. It is slightly raised locally and slightly blue-green. Those that invade the dermis are bright red. The tumor increases when crying, indicating that it has more contact with the systemic circulation. In severe cases, the lesion involves the entire upper eyelid, causing diffuse swelling of the upper eyelid, which can cover the pupil, affect visual development, and cause amblyopia and strabismus. Eyelid capillary hemangioma can invade the orbit or originate in the orbit, but it is relatively rare. Intraorbital capillary hemangioma is prone to cause proptosis and displacement of the eyeball and develops rapidly. Because some patients have lesions that invade the dermis, local red bulges, and many shallow depressions on the surface, like strawberries, it is also called strawberry nevus.
