how did you know it was a strawberry hemangioma and not a port wine stain?I thought I had this one in the bank
"purplish" is a frustrating word here but they key is CAVERNOUS VASCULAR CHANNELS. Port wine stain in sturge weber and salmon patch ("stork bite") are both flat lesions, not a hemangioma.
To me it sounds more like nevus simplex. The most common capillary malformation is nevus simplex, which affects more than half of infants. Nevus simplex, or “salmon patch,” lesions are pink, ill-defined patches that tend to occur in midline locations, most frequently on the nape of the neck, glabella, eyelids, nose/lips, scalp, and sacral region Historically, colloquial terms such as “stork bite” (nape) and “angel kiss” (forehead/glabella) referred to nevus simplex lesions in particular anatomical regions. Unlike PWS and most other vascular malformations, most nevus simplex lesions regress within the first 2 years of life Clinical differentiation of nevus simplex from PWS, especially on initial presentation, can be difficult. Lesions with lighter pink color, midline location, and indistinct borders favor nevus simplex. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5615389/
The diagnosis is strawberry hemangioma, commonly happens in kids, often resolves on its own as they get older.

I don't know what's going on here because in name 23 I picked "cavernous vascular spaces" for strawberry hemangioma and it was incorrect, then they go and describe it here as "cavernous vascular channels" and they expect me to know it's a strawberry hemangioma also????????????!!!!!!!!!!
