Beyond Infantile Hemangiomas: A Glimpse into Overlapping Rare Syndromes Emphasizing the Vigilant Screening for PHACE and LUMBAR Syndromes. Case Rep Pediatr 2024; 2024:7501793. [PMID: 38665932 PMCID: PMC11045289 DOI: 10.1155/2024/7501793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas are the most common birthmark in newborns. They are clinically diagnosed and usually self-limited. However, there are several exceptions with aggressive types of hemangiomas that can be associated with extracutaneous anomalies, such as PHACE syndrome (posterior fossa anomalies, upper body hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, and eye anomalies) and LUMBAR syndrome (lower body hemangiomas, ulcerations/urogenital anomalies, myelopathies, bony deformities, anorectal malformations/arterial anomalies, and renal anomalies). These two syndromes, described in the literature with distinct features, have rarely been reported in the same patient. We discuss one of the few cases reported with overlapping features of the PHACE and LUMBAR syndromes that initially presented with infantile hemangiomas, as well as other nonspecific skin and systemic findings. Minimal guidance has been described due to the need for more scientific literature. Our aim is to reinforce awareness of these two syndromes and the possibility of an overlap presentation between them. Furthermore, we emphasize the need for an interdisciplinary approach with screening for all known associations to avoid missing essential components of these syndromes that can lead to significant morbidity and lifetime complications.

Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common tumors of infancy and, in rare instances, can present in the setting of congenital structural anomalies or as part of syndromic disorders. In this study, we present three cases of children with segmental IHs born with concurrent pulmonary anomalies: congenital pulmonary airway malformations and bronchopulmonary sequestration. To date, no known association between these entities and hemangiomas has been described.

Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are common vascular lesions which are benign but can cause significant functional and cosmetic morbidity. Since the fortuitous discovery of propranolol being effective to treat IH over a decade ago, the therapy and prognosis for children with IH have improved dramatically. Oral propranolol (as well as other oral beta-blockers and topical timolol) are safe and effective treatments, and have now supplanted other therapies. Making the correct diagnosis is crucial, because other vascular lesions can mimic IH. In addition, IH can be the first manifestation of an underlying syndrome. For IH requiring treatment, initiating treatment early is key to optimizing success. Therefore, early recognition and referral, if necessary, are important. Continued research on IH, both basic science and clinical, should result in continued advances.

Abstract
The describes a clinical observation of a combination of jugulotympanic paraganglioma of the left temporal bone with multifocal congenital hemangioma. The interest of the case is that such a combination of pathologies is extremely rare. A comprehensive study and surgical treatment of a patient with this clinical diagnosis was carried out. In the diagnosis, objective otorhinolaryngological studies, otomicroscopy and MSCT of the temporal bones and MRI of the middle ear with contrast were used. Surgical intervention was performed under multicomponent anesthesia with tracheal intubation, transmastoid access. The postoperative management of the patient after surgical treatment is described.

Abstract
PHA in the paediatric population is an extremely rare and aggressive malignant soft tissue neoplasm, with less than 50 cases published worldwide. The prognosis is dismal. If the tumour is unresectable, one treatment option is LT. In this article, the current available literature is reviewed and additionally, three cases of paediatric patients with PHA who underwent LT at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden, are presented. Based on the literature and our own experience, there is undoubtedly possible good outcome of LT due to PHA. On the contrary, no patients have survived PHA without LT. PHA in paediatric patients should be recommended to LT in selected patients. Effect of modern adjuvant chemo and RT should be evaluated further based on international registry for such rare cases of PHA.

Knockdown of lncRNA MEG8 inhibits cell proliferation and invasion, but promotes cell apoptosis in hemangioma, via miR‑203‑induced mediation of the Notch signaling pathway. Mol Med Rep 2021; 24:872. [PMID: 34713294 PMCID: PMC8569514 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2021.12512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
As a member of the long non‑coding (lnc)RNA family, lncRNA maternally expressed 8, small nucleolar RNA host gene (MEG8), has been reported to serve an oncogenic role in several types of malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma, non‑small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of the knockdown of MEG8 on human hemangioma endothelial cell (HemEC) proliferation, apoptosis and invasion, in addition to determining the underlying molecular mechanism. The knockdown of lncRNA MEG8 was achieved by transfecting lncRNA MEG8 small interfering (si)RNA into HemECs, while the combined knockdown of lncRNA MEG8 knockdown and microRNA (miR)‑203 was established by co‑transfecting lncRNA MEG8 siRNA and a miR‑203 inhibitor into HemECs. The cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion and the expression levels of miR‑34a, miR‑200b, miR‑200b and Notch signaling pathway‑related factors were detected via CCK‑8 Kit, flow cytometry, Transwell, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blot assay, respectively. The knockdown of lncRNA MEG8 significantly inhibited proliferation (P<0.05) and invasion (P<0.05), but promoted apoptosis (P<0.01) in HemECs. Furthermore, lncRNA MEG8 knockdown upregulated miR‑203 (P<0.01) expression, but did not alter miR‑34a or miR‑200b expression (both P>0.05). Subsequent experiments revealed that miR‑203 silencing exerted no significant effect on the expression levels of lncRNA MEG8 (P>0.05) in HemECs. In addition, miR‑203 silencing increased cell proliferation (P<0.05) and invasion (P<0.01), but suppressed apoptosis (P<0.05). miR‑203 silencing also reversed the effect of lncRNA MEG8 knockdown on the proliferation (P<0.05), apoptosis (P<0.001) and invasion (P<0.01) of HemECs. Moreover, lncRNA MEG8 knockdown downregulated jagged canonical notch ligand 1 (JAG1; P<0.05) and Notch1 (P<0.05) expression levels, while miR‑203 silencing upregulated JAG1 (P<0.01) and Notch1 (P<0.01) expression levels and reversed the effects of lncRNA MEG8 knockdown on JAG1 (P<0.01) and Notch1 (P<0.01) expression in HemECs. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggested that lncRNA MEG8 knockdown may inhibit cell proliferation and invasion, but promote cell apoptosis in hemangioma via miR‑203‑induced mediation of the Notch signaling pathway.
