Morphological, genetic and clinical correlations in infantile hemangiomas and their mimics
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2020 Jul-Sep;61(3):687-695. doi: 10.47162/RJME.61.3.07.ABSTRACTInfantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most frequent pediatric benign vascular tumors, with a reported incidence of 5% to 10%. They have self-limiting evolution pattern divided into a growth phase in the first 12 months and a regression one, that may take up to 10 years. Occasionally, hemangiomas might lead to local or systemic complications, depending on their morphological characteristics. The first line of treatment is β-blockers, such as Propranolol, Timolol, Nadolol, administered either locally or systemically. Newer therapeutic strate...
