Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the eyelids in infancy.
They may arise as small isolated lesions or large lesions affecting visual
function. In most cases, treatment is not needed. However, if the lesion
leads to functional impairment or ulcerates, treatment is necessary. Herein,
we present the case of a preterm infant with rapidly growing cutaneous
hemangioma of the eyelid with a potential risk of amblyopia, which was
successfully treated with propranolol.
