Abstract

Juvenile hemangiomas can occur from the first months of life, with the prevalence of superficial juvenile hemangiomas (76.1%), more often solitary (83.3%).
 Female infants predominate among the patients, with a 2:1 ratio.
 Localization on the skin of the face and scalp is determined in 30% of cases; the remaining juvenile hemangiomas are located on the skin of the trunk and extremities.
 Hemangiomas are mostly peripheral and small in size (1020 mm), superficially and up to 5 mm deep.
 The most frequent complication of juvenile hemangiomas is ulceration, both as a consequence of exophytic growth and treatment methods.
 The predominance of arterial intramedullary blood flow was found at ultrasound diagnosis, however, variants of 2-phase blood flow can also occur, which requires additional ultrasound examination of all cases of juvenile hemangiomas.
 We offer the publication of a photo gallery on this problem.
