Lip Infantile Hemangiomas Involving the Vermillion Border Have Worse Outcomes and Prognosis to Oral Propranolol Than Lesions Confined to One Side of the Vermillion

摘要

Purpose: Oral propranolol has been widely used for problematic infantile hemangiomas (IHs). Lip IHs present a high risk of disfigurement and associated psychosocial dysfunction and require early treatment. Lips are compound parts that consist of the upper and lower lips and include the mucosal and cutaneous lips histologically. The present retrospective study aimed to determine the response and prognosis of different subtypes of lip IHs to the use of systemic propranolol.
