Abstract

Congenital hemangiomas are vascular tumors that have an intrauterine growing phase. They are a diagnostic challenge for the clinician with the possibility of a vascular malformation. We present the case of a newborn with a congenital vascular abnormality with a clinical diagnostic of rapid involuting congenital hemangioma.
