Abstract

Congenital hemangiomas are vascular tumors that are fully formed at birth, typically without postnatal growth. Noninvoluting congenital hemangiomas (NICH) have a distinctive clinical, radiologic, and histopathological profile and lack of expansion or involution over time. Herein, we describe two cases of NICH with atypical postnatal growth.

Keywords: NICH; congenital hemangioma; noninvoluting congenital hemangioma; postnatal growth.
