Infantile hemangiomas (IHs), boasting a prevalence ranging from 4% to 10%, stand as the most commonly encountered benign tumors during the early stages of human life. We present the case of a 2-year-9-month-old child who was born preterm with very low birth weight (VLBW), 1010 g birth weight, at 27 weeks gestational age. During pregnancy, her mother had anemia and needed cervical cerclage. On her 10th day of life, the appearance of a frontal hemangioma could be observed. The hemangioma was situated at the hairline. At the age of one month, another hemangioma could be observed on her right arm. The hemangiomas were treated with propranolol oral suspension for 10 months and afterwards with local ointment for 2 months. This choice of treatment delivered great results, with no adverse reactions reported. In this case report, we underlined the risk factors for IH, possible complications, and available treatment options.
