Abstract
Hemangiomas are the most common tumors of childhood. Although most hemangiomas remain innocuous, a significant minority may be associated with important complications. The morphology and location of a hemangioma of infancy are critically important factors in determining potential risk for complications. Ongoing research on pathogenesis will provide new opportunities for interventional and preventive therapies.
