Hemangioma is a common occurrence in humans and can be found in any part of the body. With hemangioma, a group of capillaries grows out of control, which is a common cause of the "strawberry birthmark" in infants and young children. Typically there are no ill effects from hemangioma, and the body will break down the capillary structure and absorb it over time. In some organs they can produce pain, blockages or other effects, however. A full-body scan can be done to detect hemangioma wherever they occur in the body.
