Summary
Haemangiomas are common benign vascular tumours but extensive ones are rare. Such
large haemangiomas require treatment but important sequelae persist even after complete
regression. We report the case of a young girl who presented with cosmetically disturbing
sequelae after complete regression of a large haemangioma of the face. She referred
to our multidisciplinary team to improve her facial appearance.
