Childhood cutaneous hemangiomas.
An hemangioma is a common benign growth of vascular endothelium that may have multiple clinical manifestations. Either identified at birth or shortly thereafter, hemangiomas have both proliferative and involutional phases. Certain varieties are associated with congenital anomalies. Numerous therapy options are discussed.
