Congenital hemangioma: a report of evolution from rapidly involuting to noninvoluting congenital hemangioma with aberrant Mongolian spots.
Congenital hemangiomas are unusual vascular tumors that are fully developed at the time of delivery. We report a case of an infant with an exophytic congenital hemangioma with features of a rapidly involuting hemangioma on the arm which over 3 years decreased in volume but continued to persist with features of a noninvoluting congenital hemangioma. He also had aberrant, persistent Mongolian spots on both legs. To our knowledge, this association has not been reported to date.
