Popis: A 4-month-old infant had two 3 cm × 4 cm hemangiomatous lesions on the scalp and back, present since birth, which contained peculiar white-yellowish small nodules. Histologically the lesions proved to have a hemangiomatous (capillary-type) component together with small keratin-containing epidermal cysts (milialike) which progressively extruded their contents. The lesions also contained embryonic-like hair structures. The hemangiomas resolved spontaneously. We were unable to find any reference in the literature describing this peculiar combination of features.
