Management of hemangiomas.

A majority of hemangiomas are harmless lesions and they regress spontaneously without significant sequelae. However, there are also distressing, endangering, and even life-threatening hemangiomas. For them, the outcome has improved over the last 10 years, and mortality figures have dropped due to promptness in treatment and to more effective therapeutic regimens. Parents need frequent consultations and support even when we decide not to treat the child, and pictures should be taken to follow the progress of involution.
