Abstract

Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a rare entity with the distinctive features of multiple hemangiomas of the skin and internal organs, which may result in a fatal outcome if wide-spread involvement of the internal organs. We report a case of DNH with cutaneous and hepatic involvement. The significant regression in the vascular lesions was achieved with systemic corticosteroid therapy.
