Abstract
Amaç: İnfantil hemanjiomlar (İH) endotel hücrelerinin benign proliferasyonlarıdır. Çocukluk çağının en sık_x000D_
görülen benign tümörleridir. İH’ın çoğu kendiliğinden gerilerken, yaklaşık %10'u medikal tedavi gerektirir. İH’ın_x000D_
medikal tedavisinde kortikosteroidler, interferon ve vinkristin eskiden beri kullanılan ajanlardır. Son yıllarda_x000D_
topikal beta-blokerler teröpatik etkinliklerinin gösterilmesi ve sistemik yan etkilerin daha az görülmesi nedeniyle_x000D_
İH tedavisinde alternatif bir tedavi yöntemi olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, topikal beta-bloker_x000D_
kullanılan yüzeyel İH hastalarının epidemiyolojik özellikleri ve tedavi etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır._x000D_
Gereç ve yöntem: Erzurum Bölge Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Çocuk Hematoloji-Onkoloji Polikliniği’ne_x000D_
Nisan 2015 ile Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında başvuran, yaşları 0-36 ay arasında olan 30 hasta çalışmaya dahil_x000D_
edildi. Yüzeyel hemanjiyomu olan hastalara lezyon bölgesine %0,5 timolol maleate solüsyon, sabah ve akşam_x000D_
ikişer damla olacak şekilde uygulandı._x000D_
Bulgular: Tedavi öncesi hemanjiomların çapı ortalama 2,5±1,5 cm iken, tedavi sonrası 1,3±0,8 cm olarak_x000D_
belirlendi (p<0,0001)._x000D_
Sonuç: Lezyonda belirgin gerilemeye yol açması nedeni ile timolol kullanımı ümit vadetmektedir. Ancak daha_x000D_
geniş çaplı ve kontrollü-randomize çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğu da bir gerçektir.
Purpose: Infantile hemangiomas are benign proliferation of endothelial cells. It is the most common benign_x000D_ tumor of childhood. While the most of IH is spontaneously regressing, about 10% requires medical treatment._x000D_ Corticosteroids, interferon and vincristine have long been used in medical treatment of IH. In recent years,_x000D_ topical beta-blockers have been used as an alternative treatment modality for the treatment of IH because of_x000D_ their therapeutic efficacy and low systemic side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological_x000D_ features and treatment efficacy of superficial IH patients using topical beta-blockers._x000D_ Materials and methods: 30 patients, aged between 0-36 months, who applied to the Pediatric HematologyOncology Polyclinic of the Erzurum Regional Education and Research Hospital between April 2015 and May_x000D_ 2017 were included in the study. In patients with superficial hemangioma, 0.5% timolol maleate solution was_x000D_ applied to the lesion area, two drops in the morning and in the evening._x000D_ Results: While the mean diameter of hemangiomas before treatment was 2.5±1.5 cm, it was determined as_x000D_ 1.3±0.8 cm after treatment (p<0,0001)._x000D_ Conclusions: The use of timolol is promising because it causes a marked regression in the lesion. However, it_x000D_ is a fact that wider-scale and controlled-randomized studies are needed.
