Abstract:
Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is a disease often with a fatal outcome, characterized by widespread capillary hemangiomias of the skin and visceral organs. A 6-month-old-girl was diagnosed to have diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis by her multiple hemangiomas on the skin, liver, brain, lung and oral mucosa. She was treated with prednisolone 1.5-2mg/kg/day for 9 months and combined interferon alfa-2a 3 million unit/m2/day for 5months. During the treatment the number and size of hemangiomas were markedly reduced
