Hemangiomas of infancy: clinical characteristics, morphologic subtypes, and their relationship to race, ethnicity, and sex
KG Chiller, D Passaro, IJ Frieden - Archives of dermatology, 2002 - jamanetwork.com
Background Hemangiomas of infancy vary widely in appearance, size, and depth of
cutaneous involvement. There is currently no standard classification system for these
lesions. While they occur in any race, an increased incidence occurs in girls, light-skinned
whites, and premature infants, especially those weighing less than 1500 g. Other
epidemiologic and demographic factors have not been well characterized. Objective To
determine any correlations between hemangioma subtype and anatomic location with …
