Abstract
Haemangiomas are the most frequent tumours of child age. They are found in 10-12% of infants. The authors summarize contemporary knowledge of the treatment of haemangiomas as well as their own experience with their treatment. They follow-up 18 children with haemangiomas at different sites, incl. ten with extensive haemangiomas. The latter were treated conservatively with prednisone and interferon alpha.
