Unwelcome invitee of newborn -strawberry hemangioma

Infantile hemangiomas [IH] or strawberry hemangioma are benign vascular neoplasms that have a characteristic clinical course marked by early proliferation and followed by spontaneous involution. Hemangiomas are the most common tumours of infancy and usually are medically insignificant. Cutaneous hemangioma at particular sites is more common at head and neck followed by trunk and extremities. Extracutaneous hemangiomas were more common in liver, gastrointestinal tract, larynx, central nervous system, pancreas and lungs.

Pathologically, porokeratosis is characterized by a column of parakeratotic cells, called the cornoid lamella. This report describes a 55-year-old male with his two sons affected by porokeratosis of Mibelli and it was confirmed histopathologically. The rarity of this disorder in family, its clinical exuberance and the destructive character of the lesions, as well as, nasal, finger and abdomen involvement were unusual in case of porokeratosis
