Infantile Hemangioma

Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common benign tumor in children, characterized by the abnormal growth of blood vessels. It usually appears in the first few weeks of life and can affect the head, neck, trunk, and extremities. While most IHs go away on their own, some may cause complications and require treatment.
