Haemangioms are the most often occuring malformations in childhood and their treatment is controversial. Most haemangioms heal spontaneously before the age of 8, and it is advisable to wait till then. If located at an exposed position, e.g. on the face or on functionally important structures, further growth can result in significant functional disorders or disfigurations.

Treatment can result after a period of 20–30 years can result in a development of malignomas (Fig. 1 + 2).
