In twelve months of study, we founded in 1,485 borns that 14.14% presented those lesiones salmon stain 86%, oport wine 1.35%, capilar hemangioma or in strawberry the 10.81%, cavernous hemangioma the 0.45% and mixed hemangioma the 1.35%. Where more frequent in females that in males as well as from the urban zone in almost more than the half of the cases. Dimensions were between 0 to 5 cm. range, 98% in salmon stain, 95% in strawberry hemangioma, 66.3% mixed hemangioma, 66.6% in oport wine stain distributed in the head in more proportion. There was salmon stain in the nape in 61.7%, 15% in the forehead and in the superior eyelids 14.3%. The familiar antecedents of vascular nevus in brothers was of 4.76%, 5.71% in uncle, 2.98% in parents and 1.43% in grandparents. The evolution was not concluded because of desertion in almost the totality of patients, finalizing with only the 6.66%. Our findings are different from those published in the literature.
