Pigmented lesions of the skin-2

AIIMS

A 3-month-old baby is brought in by concerned parents who have noticed that a red lesion over his forehead, present from birth, has begun to reduce in size but has developed a black area centrally. There is no other lymphadenopathy and the child is otherwise developing normally. Most probable diagnosis is:

a. Blue naevus

b. Campbell de Morgan spot

c. Strawberry naevus

d. Deep capillary naevus

Correct answer: C. Strawberry naevus

These lesions appear shortly after birth and tend to occur around the head, neck and napkin area.

The lesion can grow rapidly to produce a domeshaped, red-purple extrusion which can be friable.

Despite being unsightly, they usually undergo spontaneous resolution, beginning with an alarminglooking area of central necrosis. Generally, 50% regress by the age of 5 years and 70% by the age of 7 years. Therefore management is expectant but there are specific indications for surgery such as breathing/feeding difficulties or haemorrhage.

Medical treatment is high-dose prednisolone but in more severe cases, complex surgical intervention may be required.
