Abstract: | Ulceration is a common complication of hemangiomas of infancy and presents a therapeutic dilemma for the head and neck-facial plastic surgeon. Multiple therapies are available, further complicating treatment of patients. We review the common characteristics of ulcerated hemangiomas and discuss the treatment modalities available. We present case reports to illustrate management options and a stepwise algorithm for treatment of ulcerated hemangiomas. |
