title: Current Management of Vascular Tumors in the Neonate.
abstract: Neonatal vascular tumours present particular difficulties in their diagnosis and treatment. The special behaviour of neonatal hemangioma and the aggressive but benign nature of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma provide examples of a modern need for a conservative approach. Recent advances in their pharmacological management have dramatically changed the therapeutical scope of this group of tumors with surgery playing a minor role in their treatment. Multidisciplinary teams management involving neonatology, pediatric surgery, dermatology, pathology, genetics and radiology specialists among others remains the best option for an optimal outcome.
