To the Editor:
Infantile hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors in infants, typically
presenting as solitary lesions that regress
spontaneously1. However, atypical presentations can
obscure underlying pathology. We describe an 8-month-old girl with a
giant nodular lesion initially misdiagnosed as an infantile hemangioma,
which was later identified as leukemia cutis secondary to acute B-cell
lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
