Abstract

Pediatric surgeons frequently diagnose and treat vascular malformations. We present the case of a boy born with a large congenital hemangioma of the flank that ruptured during birth, resulting in life-threatening hemorrhage, requiring emergent excision. Prenatal diagnosis may help to identify such lesions, and pediatric surgeons must be ready to treat emergent complications of vascular malformations.
