What describes a hemangioma?

Congenital focal proliferation of nerve cells
Congenital focal proliferation of adipose tissue
Congenital focal proliferation of capillaries
Congenital focal proliferation of skeletal muscle

The correct answer is: Congenital focal proliferation of capillaries

A hemangioma is defined as a congenital focal proliferation of capillaries. This condition involves an abnormal growth of blood vessels, specifically capillaries, which can result in a 'strawberry' or 'raspberry' appearance on the skin. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it accurately describes the characteristic feature of a hemangioma. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they describe proliferation of nerve cells, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle respectively, which are not the features observed in a hemangioma.
