title: Clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathologic features in a case of infantile hemangioma without proliferation.
abstract: Infantile hemangioma precursors or those without a proliferative phase may mimic a port-wine stain. We describe a case of infantile hemangioma precursor, which proved to be Glut-1 positive in biopsy, with the dermoscopic features of red round globular vessels, red comma-like vessels, and red linear vessels. These dermoscopic features should help to distinguish infantile hemangioma precursors or those with an absent or minimal growth phase from a port-wine stain.
