Perianal Ulcers on a Segmental Hemangioma With Minimal or Arrested Growth

Hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth are a type of infantile hemangioma in which the proliferative component characteristic of such lesions is not observed or accounts for less than 25% of the surface area of the hemangioma. For this reason, these lesions are fre- quently confused with capillary vascular malformations or may even go undetected. Awareness of these lesions is, however, important because they can become ulcerated, as occurs with typ- ical infantile hemangiomas. A proper diagnosis is therefore important to enable administration of appropriate treatment.
