    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Dermatopathology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Vascular tumors in infants can present as large, rapidly growing masses.
    • Clinical diagnosis of malignancy is sometimes challenging in pediatric soft tissue tumors.

    Observation:

    • Two infants had large, rapidly growing vascular tumors in the occipital and lumbosacral regions.
    • Initial clinical assessment suggested malignant soft tissue tumors.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed both tumors were benign vascular malformations.
    • The study discusses the difficulties encountered in histopathological assessment of these cases.

    Implications:

    • Accurate histopathological assessment is crucial for differentiating benign from malignant vascular tumors in infants.
    • Surgical excision, though challenging, can be curative for these benign lesions.
