Abstract

Diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis (DNH) is an uncommon condition characterized by multiple cutaneous and visceral haemangiomas frequently causing severe complications. Corticosteroids constitute the first therapeutic line; however, when they fail, other alternatives are available, provided possible side effects are closely monitored during and after treatment. We present a case of life-threatening DNH, non-responsive to corticosteroids, successfully treated with Vincristine with minor side effects. We conclude that Vincristine is a valid alternative in corticosteroid-resistant DNH.
