A multicenter prospective study of 1,656 infants with infantile hemangiomas confirmed that patients with higher numbers of cutaneous infantile hemangiomas have a greater incidence of infantile hepatic hemangioma, 8.3% in patients with 5 to 9 lesions compared with 0.4% in patients with <5 cutaneous lesions. Based on the results of this study, screening liver imaging examination is indicated in patients with 5 cutaneous infantile hemangiomas and for patients up to 9 months of age [23]. Soft Tissue Vascular Anomalies-Child In an analysis of 121 children with hepatic hemangioma in the Liver Hemangioma Registry, Kulungowski et al [24] found that 88 children had multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas lesions, 68 (77%) of which were multifocal and 20 (23%) of which were diffuse type infantile hepatic hemangioma. Arteriography Abdomen There is no relevant literature to support the use of arteriography of the abdomen as the initial imaging modality when screening for hepatic hemangiomas in infants with multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas. CT Abdomen With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT of the abdomen with IV contrast as the initial imaging modality when screening for hepatic hemangiomas in infants with multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas. CT Abdomen Without and With IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT of the abdomen without and with IV contrast as the initial imaging modality when screening for hepatic hemangiomas in infants with multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas. CT Abdomen Without IV Contrast There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT of the abdomen without IV contrast as the initial imaging modality when screening for hepatic hemangiomas in infants with multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas.
