Abstract
A female baby born with hundreds of hemangiomata of the skin and mucous membranes is described. Death from heart failure occurred in the 4th week of life, and at necropsy hemangiomata were found throughout the intestinal tract, in the liver, pancreas, larynx, lungs, Madder, lymph nodes, and cerebellum. Although invasion of surrounding tissue was apparent in the liver and pancreas, the histological features were not those of malignant disease. The hereditary aspects of this case and those of 4 similar published cases are discussed and it is concluded that there is no evidence of an inherited basis for this condition.
