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).
