Abstract
- Introduction: Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) is a common liver tumor in infants and shares the same characteristics as cutaneous infantile hemangioma (IH). Propranolol is effective for symptomatic IHH. The clinical features between cutaneous IH and IHH, and treatment efficacy of IHH (smaller than 4 cm) is unclear. To evaluate the correlation of clinical features between cutaneous IH and IHH, as well as efficacy of systemic propranolol in the treatment of cutaneous IH combined with IHH. Materials and Methods: The clinical data of infants with complicated cutaneous IH combined with IHH treated with systemic propranolol (1.5 ~ 2 mg/(kg d)) from January 2011 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Forty‐five cases with IHH combined with complicated cutaneous IH were reviewed. Single cutaneous IH is more likely to be combined with focal IHH, cutaneous IH greater than 5, more likely to be combined with multiple IHH (Pearson = 0.546, p < 0.01). The mean age of focal and multiple IHH regression was 11.93 ± 14.42 months and 10.20 ± 9.15 months, respectively. Conclusions: The number of cutaneous IH were correlated with the number of IHH. There was no difference in the age of complete remission for focal and multiple IHH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
