Bae KN, Shin K, Kim HS, et al. - Although the occurrence of infantile hemangiomas (IHs) showing minimal or arrested growth [IH-MAGs] is limited, recognising their clinical characteristics will aid in the differential diagnosis. Moreover, such type of lesions may be more responsive to topical timolol compared with classic IHs.

• Medical records and clinical images of patients with IH-MAGs were reviewed retrospectively.

• Only 31 (3.0%) of the 1,038 individuals with IHs were identified with IH-MAGs.

• Lesions with non-proliferative components were more commonly found in the lower half of the body (61.5%) than those with proliferative components (16.7%).

• The global assessment scale improved more significantly and quickly in 14 patients treated with topical timolol than in those with classic IHs.
