Eyelid hemangioma

Eyelid hemangiomas that present congenitally or in early infancy are ususally of the capillary type ("strawberry marks"). These lesions are considered hemartomas.

Histopathologically, these lesions are densely cellular and consist of numerous small, blood-filled channels lined by plump endothelial cells with associated pericytes and little contribution from larger vessels or stroma . They may appear after birth but usually cease growing by one year of age. Complete spontaneous regression by five years of age is the rule (in 80-90%).

Megaloblastic anaemia is a disorder of the bone marrow. There is a presence of erythroblasts in the bone marrow with delayed nuclear maturation because of defective DNA synthesis.

In megaoblastic anaemia Erythrocytes are larger and have higher nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios compared to normoblastic cells.
Neutrophils can be hypersegmented, and megakaryocytes are abnormal. Risk Factors for Megaloblastic anaemia are Vitamin B12 deficiency ,Folic acid deficiency and Conditions with neither B12 nor folate deficiency, e.g. orotic aciduria, where there is a defect in pyrimidine synthesis, therapy with drugs interfering with DNA synthesis and myelodysplasia.
