Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumors of infancy, typically occurring <6 months of age [1]. They have a distinct natural history which consists in early proliferative, quiescent plateau and involution phases. Medical imaging plays an important role in avoiding misdiagnosis (such as fibrous and lipomatous tumors for examples of benign tumors that can mimic IHs or rhabdomyosarcoma, infantile fibrosarcoma, neuroblastoma and lymphoproliferative disorders for examples of malignant neoplasms) and unnecessary procedures [2]. The aim of this paper is to recognize the importance of imaging, especially ultrasound and CT scan, in order to achieve an accurate diagnosis and to monitor the regression.
