Background:
The differential diagnosis for pediatric prepubertal vaginal bleeding is wide. Rare etiologies include vascular malformations and tumors, such as infantile hemangiomas (IHs), which validate the usefulness of exam under anesthesia, vaginoscopy, and tissue diagnosis.
Case:
We report a case of an IH in a 6-year-old girl causing vaginal bleeding requiring transfusion. Vaginoscopy revealed a cervical IH of less than 1 cm. Expectant management and oral propranolol were successful management options.
Summary And Conclusion:
Rare, even small soft tissue tumors such as IH can lead to impressive blood loss via vaginal bleeding. Accurate tissue diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are essential to planning safe, effective treatment, and follow-up.
