The study followed 8 infants with infantile hepatic hemangiomas under three classifications: focal, multifocal, or diffuse. 4 infants had multifocal hepatic injuries (4 to 20 injuries) and 4 infants had diffuse injuries (more than 20 injuries).The diffuse IHH are life-threatening because they can induce heart failure.

Like juvenile hemangiomas, infantile hemangiopericytomas only appear in the subcutis and affect newborns throughout their first year of life. They are characterized by being multilobulated and frequently having separate perivascular and intravascular satellite nodules outside of the main tumor mass. [2]
Kasabach–Merritt syndrome (KMS), also known as hemangioma with thrombocytopenia, [1] is a rare disease, usually of infants, in which a vascular tumor leads to decreased platelet counts and sometimes other bleeding problems, [2] which can be life-threatening. [3] It is also known as hemangioma thrombocytopenia syndrome.
An infantile hemangioma, also called a strawberry angioma, on a child's arm.
