Hemangioma (mainly infantile hemangioma)

Disease Introduction Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign vascular tumors in newborns and infants, occurring in approximately 4% to 10% of babies, and are more common in premature and low birth weight infants. They usually appear shortly after birth as red, raised plaques (commonly known as "strawberry hemangiomas") or subcutaneous bluish-purple lumps, and are most common on the head and neck. Most hemangiomas resolve spontaneously, but during the proliferative phase, they may ulcerate, affect

Pituitary tumors (prolactinoma, growth hormone-secreting tumor, Cushing's disease, etc.)

Disease Introduction Pituitary tumors are common benign tumors located on the pituitary gland, the endocrine center at the base of the skull. They are often discovered due to the secretion of abnormal hormones or compression of the optic nerve. Women often present with menstrual disorders and galactorrhea, while adults may experience enlarged hands and feet, a widened face (acromegaly), a moon face, and central obesity (Cushing's disease). When the tumor enlarges and compresses the optic chiasm, it can ca

Head and neck cancers (oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, etc.)

Disease Introduction Head and neck cancer refers to malignant tumors occurring in the mucous membranes of the head and neck, such as the oral cavity, tongue, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx. The vast majority are squamous cell carcinomas. Long-term smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and poor oral hygiene are the main high-risk factors. HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers have increased significantly in recent years. Early symptoms often include slow-healing ora

Intracranial skull base tumors (meningioma, acoustic neuroma, craniopharyngioma, chordoma, etc.)

Disease Introduction Intracranial skull base tumors refer to a large category of tumors that grow in the bone of the skull base and surrounding spaces. Common types include skull base meningiomas, acoustic neuromas (vestibular schwannomas), craniopharyngiomas, chordomas, and olfactory neuroblastomas. Because they are located close to the optic nerve, brainstem, internal carotid artery, and multiple cranial nerves, early symptoms often include headache, decreased vision, facial numbness, tinnitus, and hear

Rhabdomyosarcoma (embryonic type, acinar type, etc.)

Disease Introduction Rhabdomyosarcoma is a malignant tumor originating from skeletal muscle (striated muscle) cells. It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents, but can also occur in adults. It commonly occurs in the head and neck (orbital, perimeningeal, sinus), genitourinary system, and limbs, often presenting as a painless mass that grows rapidly within a short period. Pathologically, it is mainly divided into embryonal type (better prognosis) and acinar type (prone to metast
