Abstract:
Most neonatal cutaneous hemangiomatosis are complicated by visceral involvement and. are associated with a high mortality rate in the first month of life. Some neonates with multiple cutaneous hemangiomas, however, may follow a benign course of spontaneous resolution without visceral involvement. Such cases are called benign neonatal hemangiomatosis (BNH). BNH is characterized by a lack of mucosal or symptomatic visceral involvement. rapid spontaneous regression of cutaneous hemangimas, and an excellent prognosis. We report herein a case of BNH which is atypical compared to previously reported BNFI cases. Our patient had a more prolonged course than those of usual cases with BNH and showed a conjunctival involvement.
