Abstract

Haemangiomas are common benign skin lesions occurring in about 10% of all babies under 1 year of age. In rare cases they may be combined with haemangiomas of another area of the body. This report documents a solitary intrapulmonary haemangioma involving the entire right upper lobe in association with multiple similar skin lesions. Neonatal respiratory distress was the presenting symptom.
