Introduction: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a benign vascular tumor with an estimated prevalence of around 10% in children under one year of age.
Case Report: In this case, we describe the case of a 4-month-old girl with a known Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome. Clinical examination revealed an axillary nodule, initially suspicious of tuberculosis. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of IH.
Conclusion: Infantile hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that occur in infants. They typically appear shortly after birth, grow rapidly during the first few months. Histopathological analysis remains essential in cases where the clinical appearance is atypical.
Keywords: GLUT1, Infantile hemangioma, Propranolol, Vascular tumor
