Insights
Congenital hemangiomas (CHs) are vascular tumors present at birth. This case highlights a newborn with three CHs, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and care for these benign growths.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dermatology
- Vascular Biology
- Neonatal Care
Background:
- Congenital hemangiomas (CHs) are benign vascular tumors presenting at birth.
- CHs are classified into rapidly involuting (RICH) and non-involuting (NICH) types, with distinct clinical behaviors.
- Differential diagnosis is crucial as other conditions can mimic CH presentation.
Abstract:
Congenital hemangiomas (CHs) are described as vascular tumors that appear as grown masses at birth. Most of the CHs are benign and they are divided into rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas (RICHs), which usually resolve by the age of 14 months, and non-involuting congenital hemangiomas (NICHs), which persist and grows with age. There are multiple different conditions that may resemble the presentation of hemangiomas, and it is important to have an early differential diagnosis and tests to provide appropriate care. This case is about a newborn from Mauritius presenting with three vascular tumors diagnosed as congenital hemangiomas.
