A Case of Benign Neonatal Eruptive Hemangiomatosis / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Benign neonatal eruptive hemangiomatosis is extremely rare congenital multiple hemangiomatic disease without systemic visceral involvement. The akin lesions are usually detected at birth and virtually disappear by the age of 12 months. A female infant of 27 days had three or four flat reddish purple maculopapules on the face from the time of birth. They spreaded into the entire body surface and increased in size forming plaque upto little finger tip size for 3 days. There was no evidence of asociated symptomatic visceral involvement. Histologically they were compatible with capillary angiomatous nevi. They began to resolve into residual hyperpigmented macules necrotizing centrally at 2 months of age and almo. completely resolved at 6 months of age without any treatment.
