Abstract
We cared for an infant girl with the clinical constellation of supraum bilical midabdominal raphe, sternal atresia, and cutaneous facial and upper trunk hemangioma. This is the first report of this clinical asso ciation in the dermatologic literature. The vascular component of the disorder responded to flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser therapy and to systemic interferon alfa-2a (Roferon-A).
