Abstract
We report on an infant, aged four months, suffering from a severe hemangioma of the left labium majus. We induced systemic treatment with propranolol in off-label-use over a period of 5 1/2 months. A few weeks after onset of the treatment, the size and color of hemangioma was obviously reduced; finally there was an almost complete regression. This result underlines the role of propranolol in treatment of problematic hemangioma.Entities:
