  • Title: Segmental ulcerated perineal hemangioma of infancy: a complex case of PELVIS syndrome successfully treated using a multidisciplinary approach.
    Author: Kaushik SB, Kwatra SG, McLean TW, Powers A, Atala AJ, Yosipovitch G.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2013; 30(6):e257-8. PubMed ID: 23278237.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of PELVIS (perineal hemangioma, external genital malformations, lipomyelomeningocele, vesicorenal abnormalities, imperforate anus and skin tag) syndrome in which hemangioma in the perineal area was misdiagnosed at birth as diaper rash. Investigations revealed associated vesicorenal and spinal abnormalities. We emphasize careful diagnosis of suspicious lesions at birth and confirm the successful use of propranolol in treating ulcerated segmental hemangiomas.
