  • Title: Hemangiomas: new insights and classification.
    Author: Miller T, Frieden IJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Ann; 2005 Mar; 34(3):179-87. PubMed ID: 15792110.
    Abstract:
    Infantile hemangiomas are the most common tumors of infancy, but less common vascular tumors also can affect young infants and children. In most cases, the diagnosis of IH can be made clinically, but imaging studies and even biopsy may be required in less-than-typical cases. With a careful history and physical examination focusing on the timing, location, and type of hemangioma, as well as extracutaneous signs and symptoms, the general pediatrician will know when to be concerned about a high risk vascular tumor and proceed with referral or further evaluations.
