[Haemangiomas and diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis].
Haemangiomas are the most common benign tumours of infancy. However, diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis is a rare disorder with a high mortality characterized by multiple haemangiomas affecting the skin and visceral organs. A case of diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis in a newborn child is described and current opinions on haemangiomas in the literature are reviewed.
