Late ulceration of residual abortive infantile hemangioma: a rare complication

Abstract

Abortive and minimal growth infantile hemangiomas (IH) are present at birth and have a proliferative component of less than 25% of their total surface. Clinically, they appear most frequently as a telangiectatic patch with venules, surrounded by a halo of vasoconstriction. They may be large or small, segmental or focal. On immunohistochemistry, these lesions are Glut‐1 positive.² Ulcerations are the most frequent complication and occur mostly during the proliferative phase.^3‐5 To our knowledge, ulcerations on IH sequelae are not reported.
