Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common vascular tumor of childhood. A major feature of this tumor is rapid growth during a proliferation phase in the first year of life, followed by contraction through a slow involution phase. Several complications may emerge during this course. Bleeding at the site of the lesion and infection are the most common complications. 'Ankaferd Blood Stopper' (ABS) is a hemostatic agent produced as a mixture of five separate plant extracts. Provision of hemostasis by ABS is independent from coagulation factors and the standard coagulation cascade. Furthermore, ABS has an antimicrobial effect. In this article, we have presented a seven-year-old infant with IH on the lower lip who had been admitted with the symptoms of frequent bleedings and infection, and who was successfully treated with topical ABS in terms of control of bleeding and infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of IH that has been treated with ABS for bleeding.
婴儿血管瘤（IH）是儿童期最常见的血管肿瘤。这种肿瘤的一个主要特征是在生命的第一年增殖期快速生长，随后通过缓慢的消退期收缩。在此过程中可能会出现几种并发症。病变部位出血和感染是最常见的并发症。“安卡芬德止血剂”（ABS）是一种由五种不同植物提取物混合而成的止血剂。ABS止血独立于凝血因子和标准凝血级联反应。此外，ABS具有抗菌作用。在本文中，我们介绍了一名7岁下唇患有IH的婴儿，该婴儿因频繁出血和感染症状入院，通过局部应用ABS成功控制了出血和感染。据我们所知，这是首例报道用ABS治疗出血的IH病例。
