Strawberry hemangioma

Congenital, bright red, superficial vascular tumor, resembling a strawberry; it tends to decrease in size and eventually to disappear during childhood.


Type of birthmark characterized by raised vascular nevus, commonly observed on the face or neck.


A dull red benign lesion, usually present at birth or appearing within 2 to 3 months thereafter. This type of birthmark is usually found on the face or neck and is well demarcated from the surrounding skin. It grows rapidly and then regresses. It is caused by a proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma.
