Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Hemangiomas extensos da infância tratados com propranolol: relato de dois casos(2011-06) CAVALEIRO, Luíza Helena dos Santos; VIANA, Fernanda de Oliveira; UNGER, Deborah Aben-Athar; BITTENCOURT, Maraya de Jesus SemblanoHemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of childhood. They show rapid growth, followed by a regression phase that culminates in the partial or total disappearance of the lesion. Therapeutic options should be evaluated for extensive cases. Systemic glucocorticoids are the therapy of choice; however, there are reports that propranolol offers better and faster results. We report two cases of large volume infantile hemangioma associated with functional limitation and aesthetic disfigurement, treated successfully with propranolol, a drug that comes as a therapeutic option providing satisfactory and maintained results, with few side effects.
