Beard infantile hemangioma and subglottic involvement: are median pattern and telangiectatic aspect the clue?

Background: Identification of patient at risk of subglottic infantile hemangioma (IH) is challenging because subglottic IH can grow fast and cause airway obstruction with a fatal course.

Objective: To refine the cutaneous IH pattern at risk of subglottic IH.

Methods: Prospective and retrospective review of patients with cutaneous IH involving the beard area.

Kaposiform Haemangioendothelioma-spectrum Lesions with Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon: Retrospective Analysis and Long-term Outcome.

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a rare life-threatening vascular condition of infancy. Prognosis factors and long-term follow-up data are lacking. We retrospectively analysed the records of 24 infants (10 females, 14 males) treated for KMP in the Department of Dermatology of Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital, Paris, France, from 1984 to 2012.

Life-threatening hemorrhaging in neonatal ulcerated congenital hemangioma: two case reports.

Importance: Congenital hemangiomas (CHs) are rare benign vascular tumors that differ from common infantile hemangiomas in that they grow in utero and are fully developed at birth. While ulceration is a common, predominantly benign complication in infantile hemangioma, little is known about the prognosis of ulcerated CH. However, it has been observed that ulcerated CH may be complicated by life-threatening bleeding episodes.

Infantile myofibromatosis: a series of 28 cases.

Background: Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a rare disorder of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic proliferation in children.

Objectives: We sought to document common and unusual characteristics of patients with IM.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 28 children diagnosed with histopathologically confirmed IM between 1992 and 2012.
