Haemangioma?


i had a haemangioma IN my finger with blue and red vein like marks. i fell pregnant in 2000 and had a termination (6 weeks) for other reasons, during the pregnancy the finger developed solid tumors and i had the finger amputated a week after the termination, i have had no problems since. last october i found out i was pregnant the baby had downs and 'other' abnormalitys and had to be terminated at 14 weeks after chromozone tests. 2 weeks ago i found a large lump which has since been scanned and confirmed as a tumor, on the same hand as the haemangioma.

are there any other women out there that have, or have had haemangioma and pregnancy has aggrivated it. or if anyone has any info on haemangiomas that grow up the skin so to speak. all i can find is stuff on cherry birthmarks. i am currently facing loosing my hand and i want to make a informed decision on trying for another baby.
genuine answers appreciated!! :)

To The Mom, i had a look at the site you gave me, it had some interesting info and it spurred me onto looking up another catagory and i found this site

http://cms.clevelandclinic.org/childrens...

i looked through the whole lot and my haemangioma matched the Fast-Flow Vascular Malformations. the surgeon that operated and 'scraped' the growth in my finger in 1992 told us that the veins in the finger were enlarged and the tumor he took out at the time consisted of over 90% calcuim.
the x ray i had in 2000 for the surgeons showed bone degeneration (at that time i had 6 small tumors)
and yes this one shows pregnancy is a trigger and my finger was described as being Fat.
thank you so much for your help!!!!!
i just wonder now if this had anything to do with my baby having abnormalitys?
ine topic i read said that there are sone diseases that relate to chromozones 7-22 so i think i'll be seeing my Dr about that. thank you again

I can't give you a straight answer, but I do know that some tumors do respond to the female hormones by growing larger. So it's not unbelievable that you notice a connection between yours and your pregnancies. I think the best person to address this question would be an oncologist, who would have a lot more experience with this sort of thing. But you might check out this site

They seem to have the most information on the type situation you are describing. Good luck.

The LH surge during pregnancy has been known to cause an increase in tumor growth. It sounds as though you have some sort of genetic disease, and if I were you I would consider adoption, if passing a disease onto your child worries you. I hope you find good health soon!

    I really don't think this has anything to do with you having been an FTT baby. If the Lyrica isn't helping at 300mg/day, speak to your doctor about it.
