Late ulceration of residual abortive infantile haemangioma: a rare complication.

They may be large or small, segmental or focal.[1] On immunohistochemistry, these lesions are positive for glucose transporter (GLUT)-1.[2] Ulcerations are the most frequent complication and occur mostly during the proliferative phase.[[3]] To our knowledge, ulcerations on IH sequelae are not reported. The remaining telangiectasia and venules observed in the area of the ulcer are consistent with a residual lesion of IH. These elements, in addition to the fact that there was no other aetiology, suggested that the ulcerations could be related to the pre-existing vascular lesion. [Extracted from the article]
