title: Cervicofacial hemangioma and a minor sternal malformation: inclusion in PHACES syndrome?
abstract: Hemangiomas are frequent in childhood, but those associated to dysmorphic anomalies are rare. We report a young girl with hemangiomas of the face, neck, and upper trunk, severe laryngeal dyspnea, and sternal atrophic skin without sternal nonunion, probably corresponding to a minor form of PHACES syndrome.
