Childhood cutaneous hemangiomas

Rachel S Altman et al. Cutis. 2003 Sep.

Abstract

An hemangioma is a common benign growth of vascular endothelium that may have multiple clinical manifestations. Either identified at birth or shortly thereafter, hemangiomas have both proliferative and involutional phases. Certain varieties are associated with congenital anomalies. Numerous therapy options are discussed.
