  2. Clinical Scenario While interviewing the patient’s mother, she asked us whether it was advisable to have the mass on her son’s left cheek removed with surgery or not?

  3. Clinical Question • In infants less than 1 year old with hemangioma, is surgical intervention warranted for the disappearance of the lesion?

  4. Notes: • Hemangiomas are benign neoplasms of endothelial cells • At birth lesions are often small and inconspicuous, with 60% absent at birth • Lesions may appear as blanching macule, erythematousmacule or area of localized telangiectasia

  5. Shortly after, rapid proliferation occurs and may occur for months • Typically, invoultion of the hemangioma occurs at around 10 months and 50% of lesions resolve in 5 years

  6. Thank you.
