The vast majority of hemangiomas, the most common skin tumor of infancy, are small lesions, easily recognized by their clinical features, and left to involute spontaneously. Hemangiomas also grow in a number of visceral locations, although rarely. In addition, associated malformations are reported. We analyzed 175 cases of severe superficial hemangiomas that represented approximately 10% of all hemangiomas evaluated from 1980 to 1995. In this particular group of severe hemangiomas, with marked female preponderance (6.6:1), symptomatic visceral hemangiomas were present in 20 of 175 patients (11.4%) and associated malformations were present in 12 patients (6.9%), with both present in 4 patients. We describe these associations and discuss which hemangiomas required active treatment and which therapeutic modalities can be used. Progress has been made in the management of problem hemangiomas.
