Abstract
The term "diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis" has been used historically to describe multifocal vascular lesions affecting the skin and viscera in infants. We hypothesized that many cases reported as diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis did not have infantile hemangiomas (IH), but represented more recently described neonatal vascular diseases. A literature search was performed using PubMed database (1950-2009) with the terms "neonatal hemangiomatosis," "benign hemangiomatosis," and "diffuse hemangiomatosis." A total of 180 articles were identified. Exclusion criteria included disease onset later than 3 years of age and absence of multifocal skin involvement. In all, 73 cases were selected and categorized into 3 groups: IH/probable IH; multifocal lymphangioendotheliomatosis with thrombocytopenia (MLT)/probable MLT; and multifocal vascular lesions, not otherwise specified. Of the 73 cases, 43 had IH/probable IH, 17 had MLT/probable MLT, and 13 had multifocal vascular lesions, not otherwise specified. The clinical outcomes of these groups differed in that two of 43 (5%) patients with IH died whereas 11 of 17 (65%) patients with MLT died (odds ratio 37.6, confidence interval 5.6-387.6, P value < .0001). This was a literature-based meta-a...Continue Reading
