Infantile hemangioma: clinical resolution with 5% imiquimod cream
MI Martinez, I Sanchez-Carpintero… - Archives of …, 2002 - jamanetwork.com
A 7-month old boy in otherwise excellent health presented for consultation at the Clınica las
Americas in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with an infantile (juvenile) hemangioma on the frontal
scalp (3.02. 5 cm; Figure 1). The hemangioma, protuberant and dusky red with a cutaneous
and a subcutaneous component, was noticed by his mother at age 2 months and enlarged
rapidly. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a soft tissue mass extending to the outer table
of the skull, suggestive of infantile hemangioma.
