congenital hemangioma

Congenital hemangioma can even be diagnosed in utero by prenatal ultrasound.

Congenital hemangioma can be distinguished from infantile hemangioma because it is fully developed at birth.

Non-involuting congenital hemangioma is a cutaneous condition, lesions occur slightly more often in male infants and are well developed at birth.

There are different kinds of vascular tumors, but the 4 most common types are: infantile hemangioma, congenital hemangioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and pyogenic granuloma.

The non-involuting congenital hemangioma, NICH, presents as a solitary, well-circumscribed reddish-pink to purple plaque with central telangiectasia and hypopigmented rim.

The rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma, RICH, presents at birth as a solitary raised tumor with a central depression, scar, or ulceration surrounded by a rim of pallor.

Congenital hemangioma are divided into 2 subgroups: the rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas (RICHs) and the non-involuting congenital hemangiomas(NICHs).

A Rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (also known as a "Congenital non-progressive hemangioma") is a cutaneous condition characterized by a fully developed congenital hemangioma at birth.
