Abstract
- Hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of infancy. Greater than 60% of hemangiomas occur on the head and neck, and have an uncomplicated course. In contrast, most complicated hemangiomas develop in the urogenital or anogenital areas. These lesions are frequently associated with pain, bleeding, recurring infections, and ulcerations. Sometimes, perianal ulcerative hemangiomas are difficult to treat with multiple therapies, such as laser and steroid therapy. We managed a case of a severe perianal ulcerative hemangioma in a male newborn who did not respond to conservative management. He was successfully treated after a colostomy.
