Vascular tumor or malformation of the pediatric airway?

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Dec 3;8(1):217-218. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2567. eCollection 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Distinguishing airway vascular tumors from malformations can be challenging. Failure to treat a suspected airway hemangioma with a beta-blocker and systemic corticosteroid should raise suspicion of a possible airway malformation.
