Abstract

Infantile Hemangioendothelioma (IHE) is a rare vascular tumor with predominant involvement of soft tissues of extremities. The occurrence in the head and neck region is extremly rare. We report a four-month-old female with IHE in her lower lip. The clinical and histologic photographs depict the findings. The diagnosis and treatment of IHE are discussed.
