Hemangioma
A 4-month-old female presented with rapidly growing mass on the left cheek appearing 3 weeks after birth. Not only she had difficulties in opening her eyes. The mass also ulcerates and bleeds easily. Initially, she was brought to a dermatologist but was given no specific treatment for the mass. The mass reached 8×7×2 cm in size with multiple ulceration at the surface. (Fig. 5) She was started with oral propranolol until the target dose is reached at 2 mg/kg/day. We administered gentamycin eye ointment to protect her eyes. At 3 months after therapy, both the color and ulceration show improvements. (Fig. 6) We continued the treatment until the patient is 2 years old, which resulted in satisfactory result.
