Abstract:

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) or strawberry hemangioma are benign vascular neoplasms that have a characteristic clinical course marked by early proliferation and followed by spontaneous involution. Hemangiomas are the most common tumours of infancy and usually are medically insignificant. Cutaneous hemangioma at particular sites is more common at head and neck followed by trunk and extremities. Extracutaneous hemangiomas were more common in liver; gastrointestinal tract; larynx; central nervous system; pancreas and lungs. We represent a 4-month-old boy presented with a small but growing; strawberry-colour tumour over the right side of neck since birth.
