Abstract
HEMANGIOMAS and vascular malformations can be physically disfiguring for the afflicted individuals as well as psychologically taxing for the parents of infants and children born with these lesions. Rarely, the lesions may be life threatening. Hemangiomas are the most common of all birthmarks1 and represent the most common benign tumor of infancy.1,2 As many as 3% to 8% of infants develop hemangiomas during their first months of life.3Keywords
