title: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis without cutaneous lesions in an adult--a case report.
abstract: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a rare disorder that first presents with multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas during the neonatal period and has a high mortality rate. The authors report a long-term survivor of DNH who presented with multiple visceral hemangiomas without cutaneous lesions. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may play an important role in tumor progression.
