Abstract
Congenital hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors that are full-grown at birth and do not show accelerated postnatal growth.1 There are 2 main subgroups that probably represent different phases of the same biological phenomenona: rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma and noninvoluting congenital hemangioma.1 Moreover, a different group of hemangiomas with ulceration, usually affecting the perineum or lips and appearing at birth or soon after, are not included in the classification of congenital hemangiomas.2I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
