Abstract
- Infantile hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that commonly occur in infants. The management of hemangiomas ranges from simple observation and assurance to surgical resection. The commonly used treatment modalities include topical, intralesional and systemic steroids, pulsed dye laser and surgical excision. There are several reports of infantile hemangiomas treated with direct percutaneous injections of sclerosing agents such as ethanol, polidocanol or ethanolamine oleate. We report here on a case of infantile hemangioma that was treated with ethanolamine oleate by dermal injection. We think this is the first report of a dermal injection of ethanolamine oleate, and not intraluminal injection, for treating infantile hemangioma.
