 Infantile hemangiomas are one of the most common benign tumors in neonates. They generally enlarge within days to weeks of birth and then gradually regress without treatment, and their symptoms usually become fixed by school age. However, since vasodilatation and atrophic or wrinkled scars are sometimes observed after a hemangiomaʼs regression, treatment is often started in infancy. The standard treatment has involved the use of a pulsed dye laser, but in Japan, oral propranolol (PPL) has been covered by health insurance since 2016. Although PPL is the first choice for highly active cases and cases involving functional areas, there is no clear strategy for the use of both oral and laser treatments. At our hospital, when PPL was initially selected for infantile hemangiomas, laser treatment was added for the cases in which PPL was not effective. However, because this timing resulted in a delay of laser therapy, we encountered cases that were difficult to treat with the laser. We have thus recently changed our policy to aggressively perform laser treatment from the time of the initial PPL therapy.

 In this report, we compare the difference in efficacy between PPL and laser treatment depending on the timing of the combination of PPL and laser therapy.
