Onset | IHMAG | IH | CM |
---|---|---|---|
At Birth | First Weeks of Life | At Birth | |
Clinical | Focal or segmental flat reddish asymptomatic macules; a proliferative component, regarding <25% of the total surface area can be present | Variable (red, finely lobulated plaque or bluish subcutaneous mass) | Reddish and asymptomatic macules |
Dermoscopy | Red, dotted, or globular vessels, alone or combined with dilated linear and tortuous vessels, were associated with enlarged unfocused telangiectatic vessels | Well-demarcated round or oval areas called lacunae, in which the color can range from red to reddish-brown or reddish blue | Multiple red, dotted, or globular vessels, reticular and sausage-like vessels as well as white circles and whitish veil |
Outcome | Spontaneous regression | Rapid growth phase, followed by a period of slow involution with possible residual lesions | It grows proportionally to the child’s development, without showing signs of regression over time |
CM = capillary malformation; IH = infantile hemangioma; IHMA: = infantile hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth.
