Congenital tufted angioma: Case report and review of the literature.

Tufted angiomas (TA) are rare benign vascular tumors of unknown pathogenesis. Most appear during childhood; approximately 25 percent are congenital and 50 percent appear in the first year of life. According to the literature, TA that are present at birth or in the first year of life have a greater tendency to spontaneously regress than do those that appear later in life.

Abortive hemangiomas. Description of clinical and pathological findings with special emphasis on dermoscopy.

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most commonly found benign neoplasia in childhood. Up to a third of IH may be present at birth and develop in 3 clearly defined stages. In their endothelial cells, IH express an erythocyte type glucose transport protein (GLUT-1), highly specific to this type of lesion, which enables them to be differentiated from other types of vascular lesions, including congenital hemangiomas (RICH or NICH) and capillary malformations.
