ABSTRACT
Cutaneous vascular lesions are common in children, and are a
frequent cause for consultation. They are classified into vascular
tumors and malformations. Infantile hemangiomas are the
most common tumors, characterized by their rapid growth in
the first 6-12 months of age, and then have an involution phase.
Fifty percent of patients with these lesions have a complete
involution within 5 years. By contrast, vascular malformations
are present from birth, increasing proportionally with the child’s
growth, with no spontaneous regression. The management of
these lesions is complicated because there is a large percentage
of diagnostic error, the treatment will be different for each
type, and there are no gold standard therapeutic options .
