Patients come to the Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center from all over the country. The program is one of only three facilities in the United States that is considered a national referral center for children and young adults with complex hemangiomas, other rare vascular tumors and vascular malformations. We currently follow about 2,000 patients, adding about 450 new patients each year.
The Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Program is a partnership between the Cincinnati Children’s Hematology/Oncology Division and the Surgery Department. Our multidisciplinary team specializes in establishing an accurate diagnosis, which is something that can be very challenging due to the complex nature of these conditions. An accurate diagnosis is very important because it allows the team to develop the most effective treatment plan possible.
Cincinnati Children’s provides extensive resources to diagnose and treat hemangiomas, other rare vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Our team stays in close contact with each family’s referring physician to ensure that patients receive coordinated care.
