Abstract:
Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is rare and a life-threatening disorder characterized by multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas. The organs most commonly affected are the liver, lung. brain, GI tract. The complications are high output cardiac failure, hemorrhage, Kassabach-Meritt syndrome, etc. A 30-day-old girl was diagnosed to have diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis by her multiple cutaneous and hepatic hemangiomas. She was treated with corticosteroid and interferon alfa-2a. During the treatment the number and size of hemangiomas were markedly reduced.
