Abstract

Congenital hemangiomas (CH) are benign vascular tumors that are present at birth and do not stain for the marker Glut-1. Herein, we describe five cases of CH with atypical presentations: 3 with late growth, 1 with slow involution, and 1 that partially involuted rapidly then manifested late growth.

Keywords: Congenital hemangiomas; NICH; RICH; vascular tumor.
