Objective: Scalp hemangioma is a rare benign fetal tumor. Here, we describe the detailed imaging features and natural course of a fetal scalp hemangioma until 1 year of age.
Case Report: We encountered a case of scalp hemangioma at 23 weeks' gestation by prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. The mass persisted postnatally, but spontaneously regressed after birth.
Conclusion: Proper diagnosis with prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging is important when a scalp mass is suspected in utero. Continuation of the pregnancy after appropriate counseling is prudent, considering the favorable prognosis and the rate of spontaneous regression of uncomplicated cases.

Background: Vascular malformations (VMs) arise as a result of errors in the process of angiogenesis and are usually present at birth, but may not become apparent until after birth. However, giant VMs of the head and face are uncommon, with few reported cases, and the prognosis for their surgical intervention is unclear.
Case Summary: A 12-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital with findings of an enlarged right temporal scalp.

Vascular malformations are structural abnormalities that are thought to result from errors in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during embryogenesis. Vascular malformations of the scalp present unique management challenges due to aesthetic and functional implications. This review examines the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management techniques for six common types of vascular malformations of the face and scalp : infantile hemangioma, capillary malformations, venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, arteriovenous malformations, and arteriovenous fistulas.
