Abstract

Haemangiomas are neoplasms of the vasculature frequently encountered in paediatrics which, although benign, may present with serious complications. The potential beneficial effects of intralesional bleomycin injection (IBI) in the treatment of haemangiomas were initially reported by Kullendorf and Sarihan et al.
