  • Title: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis. A case with heart failure and thrombocytopenia.
    Author: Keller L, Bluhm JF.
    Journal: Cutis; 1979 Mar; 23(3):295-7. PubMed ID: 311271.
    Abstract:
    An examination of the skin in a nine day old infant revealed multiple cherry-red superficial hemangiomas, which progressively increased in size and number. At the age of three weeks these skin lesions involved the scalp, trunk, extremities, palms, soles, and buccal mucous membranes. In addition, similar lesions of the liver and gastrointestinal tract were found. Steroids and irradiation were tried with limited success. Finally, hepatic artery ligation was successful in eliminating the heart failure.
