Abstract

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common soft tissue tumors of childhood. The wide spectrum of disease has made it difficult to predict need for treatment and has made it challenging to establish a standardized approach to management. This article provides the reader with an up-to-date discussion of IH, identifying features of this condition which predict need for treatment as well as associated complications and reviewing management.
