MAYA, Jonathan; BLANCO, Gerardo y MALDONADO, Rocío. Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis. Bol. Med. Hosp. Infant. Mex. [online]. 2013, vol.70, n.1, pp.124-132. ISSN 1665-1146.
Introduction. Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is a rare entity and is a serious disorder in which multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas are widely distributed and sometimes may be fatal. Complications include heart failure, bleeding, and liver failure, among others. Treatment is aimed at avoiding adverse effects and complications. Case report. We report the case of a 53-day-old male patient who presented to the hospital for skin lesions and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. During his hospital stay, visceral hemangiomas were found in the lung, spleen and gastric mucosa. He was treated with interferon alpha-2b corticosteroids and hemangiomas of gastric mucosa were treated with argon plasma coagulation. Conclusions. Disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis is a rare entity and can be fatal if untreated. Our patient experienced a satisfactory evolution and is currently asymptomatic.
