Beyond Infantile Hemangiomas: A Glimpse into Overlapping Rare Syndromes Emphasizing the Vigilant Screening for PHACE and LUMBAR Syndromes.

Infantile hemangiomas are the most common birthmark in newborns. They are clinically diagnosed and usually self-limited. However, there are several exceptions with aggressive types of hemangiomas that can be associated with extracutaneous anomalies, such as PHACE syndrome (posterior fossa anomalies, upper body hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, and eye anomalies) and LUMBAR syndrome (lower body hemangiomas, ulcerations/urogenital anomalies, myelopathies, bony deformities, anorectal malformations/arterial anomalies, and renal anomalies).
