Hemangioma of infancy
Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of infancy, with approximately 15% occurring on the extremities.2 Reported incidence rates vary widely, with approximately 1% to 4% of Caucasian infants affected.3, 4 Incidence is greater in infants of Caucasian race, females, premature birth, and after chorionic villus sampling has been performed. A positive family history may be present in up to 10% of cases.2
Hemangiomas of infancy, which can vary greatly in size and location, classically progress
Vascular Malformations
Vascular malformations may be classified as capillary, venous, arterial, lymphatic, or combined. These lesions may expand with the growth of the child or progressive ectasia, but they do not proliferate.32 Similarly, they do not undergo spontaneous resolution.2
