[Hemangiomas of the skin in children].

In the article the indications to and results of surgical treatment of 2420 children with skin hemangiomas are discussed. An operative excision of hemangiomas was used in 1139 cases, electrocoagulation--in 1648, sclerosing therapy--in 21, combined treatment--in 4. In 5 children hemangiomas were removed with subsequent free skin graft plasty. Late results were followed up in 795 (32.8%) children within the terms from 4 months to 10 years, following the excision--in 348 cases and after electrocoagulation--in 447.
