Abstract

AbstractA case of diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is described. At birth, a giant tumor, 10 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height, was present on the left axilla and associated with thrombocytopenia. Numerous cherry‐red papules were present on the skin and buccal mucosa. On the second day of life, the giant tumor was excised. Histological examination of the tissue revealed masses of endothelial cells embedded in fibrous tissues. Plain and enhanced computed tomography of the brain revealed a hemorrhage and two hemangiomas. The associations of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia were discussed.
