Description

---

Birthmarks, the most benign tumors in infancy, are rarely dangerous but often cause much distress to both patients and their parents. This book brings together information from all the specialties involved in the management of birthmarks and provides a thorough description of their classification. Contributors discuss recent advances in vascular research such as laser coagulation, orysurgery, and localized embolization in terms of their applications to diagnosis and therapy. The work's centralization of knowledge and experience will benefit dermatologists, pediatricians, general practitioners, and plastic surgeons.
