title: Infantile haemangiopericytoma of the hand.
abstract: Infantile haemangiopericytomas (IHP) are rare subcutaneous tumours arising from pericytes. Clinically they are difficult to diagnose and pathologically they appear to be locally invasive, but they have a better prognosis than adult haemangiopericytomas. We report a case of IHP affecting the hand of a 7-week-old child that required urgent treatment.
