Background Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common tumors of infancy. The objective was to identify clinical and radiological patterns in patients with retroperitoneal IHs. Methods We reviewed patients from our Vascular Anomalies Center database with IHs and abdominal imaging presenting from 1999 to 2017 to identify retroperitoneal involvement. Results Eleven patients (10 females, one male) with retroperitoneal IHs were found. Cutaneous IHs were present in eight patients (five segmental (45%), three multifocal (27%)) and absent in 1 (9%). Segmental hemangiomas involved the face in 2/5 (40%) and lower body in 3/5 (60%). The most common symptoms were dyspnea (n = 4), hematochezia (n = 3), and/or ulceration (n = 2). Three patients were asymptomatic. Involved retroperitoneal organs included the duodenum (n = 4), pancreas (n = 3), and adrenal glands (n = 1). Non‐retroperitoneal organ involvement included the liver (n = 5), non‐duodenal small intestine (n = 4), and large intestine (n = 3). Perivascular retroperitoneal hemangiomas were seen in 6/11 patients (55%), most commonly surrounding the aorta (n = 5), iliac vessels (n = 2), and/or inferior vena cava (n = 2). Three of 11 patients (27%) had LUMBAR based on a segmental, sacral hemangioma with tethered cord or anorectal malformation. Follow‐up information was available in 6/11 patients (55%): 5 symptomatically improved with treatment (propranolol, corticosteroids, and/or vincristine), while one succumbed from extensive hepatic involvement. Conclusion Retroperitoneal IHs are rare and tend to involve organs or surround vessels. Associated cutaneous IHs, if present, lack anatomical predilection and may be segmental or multifocal.

• Perineal groove is described as a wet sulcus lined with mucoumembrane extending from the posterior fourchette to the anterior anus • Perineal grooves are rarely described in literature but ar likely more common in practice. • The underlying pathogenesis and embryologic origin of perineal grooves are poorly understood. • Perineal grooves generally self-resolve by 1 year of age. • Surgical intervention is rarely indicated but can be considered for rare complications (infections, mucus drainage) or for cosmetic purposes, usually after 2 years of age. • Recognition of this mild anomaly can eliminate unnecessary (and potentially invasive) testing and procedures.
