AGOSTINHO, Lisa; BRITO, Catarina  and  VILELA, Pedro. Infantile Hemangioma: A Case Report. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.1, pp.23-26.  Epub June 08, 2021. ISSN 2183-1351.  https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.19430.

The authors present a case report of a newborn, admitted for pre-auricular swelling associated with a bright red skin patch. The ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging evaluations were compatible with the diagnosis of parotid gland infantile hemangioma. Infantile hemangioma is a common benign vascular tumor, representing the vascular anomaly most frequently found in pediatric age. Its differential diagnosis includes other vascular tumors and vascular malformations. In most cases, expectant observation is recommended, with pharmacological and / or surgical treatment reserved for particular cases.
