Abstract
We report a case of cutaneous hemangioma of the thigh detected by prenatal ultrasound. A hypoechoic homogeneous mass, filled with low-density echoes, was visualized on the posterior aspect of the right thigh, close to the genital region, at 36 weeks. Low-velocity arterial flow was detected within the mass by color and pulsed Doppler and the diagnosis of cutaneous hemangioma was suspected. No other anomalies were detected and the pregnancy evolved uneventfully to term. The prognosis and management of this condition are discussed.
