Multiple pulmonary infantile hemangiomas responsive to oral propranolol

Florencia Galdeano et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

Intrathoracic infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are extremely rare. They may be located in the pericardium, trachea, bronchia, diaphragm, mediastinum, or the lungs and may be associated with cutaneous IHs. We present a newborn with multiple pulmonary IHs in the absence of skin lesions that showed a dramatic response to oral propranolol.

Keywords: infantile hemangioma; propranolol; pulmonary hemangiomas.
