MADRIGAL DIEZ, C.; BIDONGA, A. e MADRIGAL DIEZ, V.. Multiple giant hemangiomas: response to treatment with corticosteroids. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.47, pp.e47-e53. ISSN 1139-7632.
The natural history of hemangiomas is a slow involution after a period of rapid growth. Despite the benign course of most cutaneous hemangiomas, a significant number will cause functional compromise or permanent disfigurement. In these instances, treatment is clearly indicated. Although there are many widely used therapeutic options available, systemic corticosteroids are generally accepted to be first line-therapy for those hemangiomas that cause complications or significant disfigurement. We present the case of a seven-month-girl with problematic cutaneous hemangiomas that caused her a serious disfigurement. She received systemic corticosteroid treatment with good response.
