Infantile haemangiomas are the most common vascular tumours of infancy. They can occur anywhere on the skin, mucous membranes & internal organs, and may vary in size from few millimetres to many centimetres. Although benign & generally self-limiting, some tumours are classified as high-risk as they can cause serious complications, e.g. large, rapidly- growing facial lesions may ulcerate, scar, & thus cause permanent disfigurement; lesions in the periorbital or periocular regions may cause functional impairment; CNS or spine lesions may cause developmental anomalies; deep visceral lesions in airways, liver, or GI tract may even cause life-threatening complications.
