Infantile Haemangioma of Left Second Toe: A Case Report

Abstract

Infantile haemangiomas represent the most common type of benign tumours of infancy, with a prevalence of 1-10% worldwide. Even though the disorder is mostly harmless, however, the option of treatment is primarily depending on the progression of this tumour. Some studies reported the disorder in many siblings of the same family, with non-affected parents, pointing out a possible genetic immixture. We represent a case of a one month-old boy, suffering with a huge painless swelling of the left second toe. X-ray examination showed no bony lesion.  Distal interphalangeal joint amputation of left second toe was also performed. The histopathology test result showed pictures constant as haemangioma. To the best of our knowledge, this case is a first report of infantile haemangioma of the toe mimicking vascular haemangioma.
