Congenital hemangiomas are present on the skin at birth, unlike infantile hemangiomas, which appear later. They are fully formed at birth, meaning that they do not grow after a child is born, as infantile hemangiomas do. They are less common than infantile hemangiomas. Congenital hemangiomas can be coloured from pink to blue.
Congenital hemangioma can be distinguished from infantile hemangioma because it is fully developed at birth. It forms during prenatal life and has reached its maximal size at birth. Congenital hemangioma can even be diagnosed in utero by prenatal ultrasound. Unlike IH, CH is more common in the extremities, has an equal sex distribution, and is ...
Cavernous hemangiomas are erroneously called the most common benign tumors of the liver. [14] Usually one malformation exists, but multiple lesions can occur in the left or right lobe of the liver in 40% of patients. [3] Their sizes can range from a few millimeters to 20 centimetres. Those over 5 cm are often referred to as giant hemangiomas. [3]
An infantile hemangioma (IH), sometimes called a strawberry mark due to appearance, is a type of benign vascular tumor or anomaly that affects babies. [1] [2] Other names include capillary hemangioma, [6] "strawberry hemangioma", [7]: 593 strawberry birthmark [8] and strawberry nevus. [6] and formerly known as a cavernous hemangioma.
Congenital hemangiomas are present and fully formed at birth, [5] and only account for 2% of the hemangiomas. They do not have the postnatal phase of proliferation common to infantile hemangiomas. [6] There are two main variants of congenital hemangioma: non-involuting, and rapidly involuting (beginning in the first year of life). [6]
Multiple cutaneous hemangiomas or large facial hemangiomas are associated with a greater possibility of multiple organ involvement, or internal hemangiomatosis. [9] The liver is the most common organ involvement in diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis, and its involvement can be determined through imaging and presence of hepatomegaly , or enlarged ...

Benign neonatal hemangiomatosis is a rare skin condition that presents in infancy with multiple benign tumors called infantile hemangiomas, but without hemangiomas in other organs. [ 1 ] See also
