Abstract
LARRALDE, Margarita et al. Rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas: twenty five case series. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2014, vol.112, n.2, pp.e61-e65. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2014.e61.
Rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas are very rare vascular tumours, that are characterized for being completely developed at birth and for involuting in a short period of time after birth. We describe a case series of 25 patients with rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas. Twelve patients were male and 13 female; they were all born at term. Lesions were small in 17 cases and big in 8. No patient needed active intervention and all lesions showed a rapid initial involution.
