vein grow abnormally under skin

Hi,
My nephew 7 years old has abnormal vein grow on the lower right
abdoment.
The vein can been seen clearly growing underneath the lower skin. On
the
upper skin can see blood clot which turns to be in brown color. He
does not
complain of pain. This vein grow become very obvious1 years ago. We
didn't
notice that when he was a baby. Anyone has any idea what is causing
this and what is the medical terms of this problem.

I am NOT a medical doctor and I advise you to seek advise from a medical
doctor. From the look of it, it seems to me like it's a growth of veins
called an "angioma". More info on this page:

But please don't be satisfied with any advise you get here
(misc.health.alternative), take the kid to a doctor's office.

It looks like a hemangioma, but your nephew's pediatrician can get a better look at it
close up.

Thanks for all the advices. From the angioma picture on the web page
above, the red/brown blood vessels look similar to the sympthom of my
nephew. But something not common is the abnormal vein growth, like the
vein clot that we see on lower leg (Deep-vein thrombosis). When I
touch on the infected area, I can feel the vein. Could it be something
else.
His parent has sent him for CT scan, we are waiting for report. I want
to get more opinion here.

There are two types of hemangioma .

...it sounds like your nephew has a combination of a "Strawberry hemangioma"
and a "Cavernous hemangiomas".

One of our twins was born with a hemangioma (spelling) on his back. It
doesn't have the red/black surface spots but does have a deeper vein like
structure. The doctors said they usually dissapear on their own but can take
a few years.

Might be a form of caput medusae.

Definately should be seen by a doctor.
