Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis with a single atypical cutaneous hemangioma

Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is an extremely rare but deadly neonatal condition which presents as multiple cutaneous hemangiomas and hemangiomas in 3 or more visceral organs. DNH is usually suspected when multiple hemangiomas are found on the skin of the baby. We hereby present an interest...

Sumario:Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is an extremely rare but deadly neonatal condition which presents as multiple cutaneous hemangiomas and hemangiomas in 3 or more visceral organs. DNH is usually suspected when multiple hemangiomas are found on the skin of the baby. We hereby present an interesting case in a newborn whose diagnosis was made from multiple intracranial, hepatic, and intramuscular hemangiomas, but with a single and unusual cutaneous manifestation over the right ankle. The patient was asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis. Due to the solitary nature of skin lesion, this report might contribute to a redefining of the term DNH.
