摘要
Tufted haernangioma is a rare, acquired vascular tumour most commonly presenting in the first year of life. Some authors consider angioblastoma of Nakagawa and progressive capillary haemangioma to be the same condition, and include them in the lobular capillary haemangioma complex. There have been only a few case reports of tufted angioma in the literature, with little information on effective treatment. We describe a case of tufted angioma presenting in a 3-month-old girl. Because of the tumour's rapid growth, aggressive treatment was felt to be justified. There was no response to interferon alpha-2a but high-dose steroids were commenced with good results.
