An unusual case of adnexal infantile hemangioma

Abstract

A four-year-old girl, a known case of infantile hemangioma of the left lower lid, presented, because of progressive rapid growth of the tumor, with episodes of spontaneous bleeding. Multiple local injections of a mixture of triamcinolone and betamethasone sodium phosphate were used with unsatisfactory results. Surgical excision of the lesion provided adequate cosmetic and physiologic control.
