Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier analysis of progression-free survival in children with vascular tumors and vascular malformations treated with sirolimus.
Two progression events occurred in patients with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma after discontinuation of sirolimus. VT: Vascular tumors; VM: Vascular malformations.
Figure 2 Magnetic resonance imaging of a patient with composite hemangioendothelioma before and after sirolimus therapy.
A: Baseline post-contrast T1-weighted image with fat suppression in the coronal view demonstrating a large heterogeneous mass with areas of necrosis involving the nasal cavity, sphenoid sinuses, and ethmoid sinuses (arrows); B: Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging obtained after 6 months of sirolimus therapy showing a marked reduction in tumor size (arrows).
