Abstract:
Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of infancy and they can occur on any part of the body. However, their presentation as a perianal ulcer prior to the development of a clinical hemangioma is extremely rare. A 5-week-old girl presented with painful ulcerated lesions on the perianal area, which developed about 10 days after her birth. Histopathologic examination showed the proliferation of dilated vessels in the upper dermis. The patient was treated with combined approach using topical steroid, 5% imiquimod cream and triamcinolone intralesional injection. Clinical improvement was observed. We herein report on a case of infantile hemangioma that presented with perianal ulcers.
