Presentation
They are a rare entity accounting for less than 3% of hemangiomas present in the neonatal period. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
They are often mistaken for an infantile hemangioma but are present at birth. They do not tend to grow after birth. [howlingpixel.com]
Central ulceration may be present. [dermaamin.com]
Congenital means innate; a congenital Hemangioma is present at birth. Characteristic is a lighter edge or a 'halo' to the drift. [cmtc.nl]

- Splenomegaly
[…] kasabach–merritt phenomenon) KMS is a rare condition in which a large vascular tumor or also numerous small vascular tumors (cutaneous or subcutaneous or mixed), present since birth or the 1 st weeks of life, are associated with thrombocytopenia, anemia, and splenomegaly [ijpd.in]
Entire Body System
- Soft Tissue Mass
NICH are also present at birth, but usually flatter than RICH, presenting as a well-circumscribed round to oval, slightly indurated or raised soft-tissue mass with overlying telangiectasias and a rim of pallor. [dermaamin.com]
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals a lobulated soft-tissue mass with flow voids, and high-flow vessels Diagnosis confirmation The differential diagnosis includes infantile hemangioma (precursor lesion present at birth followed by rapid, postnatal [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Lesions demonstrate fast-flow vessels early on then a venous flow signal with involution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) shows lobulated soft-tissue mass with flow voids and diffuse enhancement with gadolinium. [clinicaladvisor.com]
(B) On US at 28+6 weeks of gestation, the well-defined homogeneous soft tissue mass has extended to a length of 3.9 cm (white line). (C) US at 32+6 weeks of gestation showing an increasing size of ~1.5×5 cm (yellow lines). [degruyter.com]
Skin
- Lanugo
· Congenital eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare ill-defined plaque associated with increased lanugo hair and sweating. · Pyogenic granuloma is very common; a rapidly growing papule or nodule with a collarette of scale or eroded surface. [dermaamin.com]
Neurologic
- Tremor
Clinical manifestations include TREMOR, spasmus nutans, roving eye movements, ATAXIA, spasticity, and NYSTAGMUS, CONGENITAL. Death occurs by the third decade of life. [bioportfolio.com]
Workup
A pediatric otolaryngology (ENT) consult is paramount for proper workup and surveillance of tracheal/glottal hemangioma. [hemangioma.com]
Treatment
More on Diagnosis of Non-involuting congenital hemangioma » Treatments: Non-involuting congenital hemangioma Treatment : Because non-involuting congenital hemangioma (NICH) is quite rare, there are no established guidelines for the treatment of this condition [familydiagnosis.com]
Treatment is excision or electrocautery. [dermaamin.com]
Other ssuggested treatments include Bevacizumab (antibody against VEGF) and Sirolimus (MTOR inhibitor). Optimal Therapeutic Approach for this Disease Surgical excision is the optimal treatment. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
These vascular abnormalities are benign and in principle need no treatment. When in doubt to the diagnosis a biopsy can be done (skin sample for microscopic examination). [cmtc.nl]
Prognosis
PROGNOSIS AND CLINICAL COURSE TA may persist unchanged or regress completely within a few years. TREATMENT No single treatment is effective. Interferon-α and PDL have anecdotally been reported to be effective [dermaamin.com]
Knowledge of the clinical presentation, evolution and prognosis of this rare hemangioma is crucial for the diagnosis and appropriate follow-up, avoiding unnecessary clinical interventions, and providing reassurance of caregivers. [revistas.rcaap.pt]
Ultrasonographers and obstetricians should be aware of these vascular tumors, their differential diagnosis and prognosis. [degruyter.com]
Etiology
Tufted Angioma ETIOLOGY TA is a benign vascular tumor that has also been called angioblastoma of Nakagawa. Its etiology and pathogenesis are uncertain. Unlike IH, there are no known gender or gestational age correlates. [dermaamin.com]
Etiology The etiology is unknown. Pathophysiology The pathophysiology includes aberrant angiogenesis driven by local and systemic pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF and angiopoeitin-2. The mechanisms behind resistance to involution are unknown. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
Etiology The etiology is unknown. Pathophysiology Aberrant angiogenesis is driven by local and systemic pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF and angiopoeitin-2. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying etiologies and pathogenetics are often not known. [howlingpixel.com]

Pathophysiology Aberrant angiogenesis is driven by local and systemic pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF and angiopoeitin-2. The mechanism behind spontaneous involution is unclear, but is probably due to variable host factors. [clinicaladvisor.com]
