Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas arise from the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and represent the most common benign tumors in infancy, with an estimated incidence of 4-10% in Caucasian infants. They vary according to their number, depth, and distribution. Within the latter classification are the so-called segmental ones, which feature an extensive distribution in areas of embryonic mesodermal extensions. We report the case of a patient evaluated at one and a half months of life with an extensive hemangioma of the mandibular area and anterior neck (segmental hemangioma of the beard). We describe the importance of complementary studies for evaluating the involvement of underlying organs, detecting associated syndromes, and defining the treatment based on these findings.
