Background: A hemangioma is an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels that may occur in any vascularised tissue. Vascular malformations can be localised or diffuse errors of embryonic development. Aim: To study the incidence, age of onset, sex distribution, familial incidence, distribution of lesions, complications and associations of hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Methods: A total of 52,369 cases attended the dermatology OPD during the study period from august 2007 to September 2009 were studied. Results: Out of 52,369 cases, 56 cases (0.11%) were found to have vascular naevi. Among 56 cases, 36 of them were hemangiomas and 20 cases were port-wine stains. Conclusion: Among hemangiomas and vascular malformations, incidence of hemangiomas was twice as that of the other. There was a slight female preponderance of hemangiomas among females, in which head and neck was the commonest site and common complication was ulceration.
