  • Title: Rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH): a brief case report.
    Author: Scalise R, Bolton J, Gibbs NF.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2014 Nov 15; 20(11):. PubMed ID: 25419759.
    Abstract:
    Congenital hemangiomas (CH) are benign vascular neoplasms that proliferate in utero and have completed development by birth. Two subtypes of CH are recognized: rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas (RICH) and non-involuting congenital hemangiomas (NICH). Involution of the RICH subtype often begins in the first weeks of life. NICH does not involute, allowing the distinction between RICH and NICH. We report a case of an infant with RICH occurring on the scalp, examined at birth and followed for 26 weeks.
