Abstract

Contrary to the standard teaching promulgated by Lister in 1938 for the management of hemangiomas in infants and children, we propose proactive early interventional therapy to arrest the growth of these often disfiguring lesions. Previous approaches emphasize the spontaneous involution of hemangiomas in late childhood and adolescence, a policy that basically ignored the psychosocial effect of these lesions on patient and family. Early intervention was reserved for those lesions that were life threatening.
