Abstract

Infantile haemangiomas are the commonest tumours occurring in infants, but regress spontaneously without causing major problems in the great majority of cases. However, in some infants they can cause life-threatening complications. Fortunately, if the decision to treat is made promptly, and the most appropriate form of treatment selected, these complications can usually be prevented.
