Core Tip

Core tip: Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumors of infancy. In this paper, we describe a two-month-old female who presented with a thick IH covering most of the right labia majora and was treated using a long-pulse Alexandrite laser, and we review the literature to further understand IH, including its definition, diagnosis, and treatment.
