Case#6 History:
An infant with an obvious skin lesion, not painful,
gradually growing in size.
Imaging Studies: No imaging studies were
performed. MRI is the ideal imaging modality if diagnostic
work-up is indicated. ultrasonography is commonly performed
for these patients, but it is unnecessary in many patients
and also may cause diagnostic dilemma if a sonographer is
not familiar with these malformations. Also, CT or plain
radiography have limited value in the diagnostic work-up and
are not indicated.
