Clin Pediatr (Phila). 1985 Oct;24(10):596-8. doi: 10.1177/000992288502401010.

Abstract

There is a clinical impression among physicians that puberty may prompt growth of hemangiomas. We observed significant growth of a large cavernous hemangioma in a patient at the onset of puberty despite absent estrogen and progesterone receptors in the hemangioma tissue.
