  ABSTRACT: Infantile hemangioma and burn hemangioma have many similarities in clinical pictures, pathology and treatment. As infantile hemangioma appears usually after birth and then rapidly grow within few months and then a statue state and then involutes within few years while burn hemangioma so called burn pyogenic granuloma usually appears within days after burn with liquid and grow rapidly into many giant angiomatous masses and then after short time usually weeks or months will involute in more than 37.5% of cases. Hence burn hemangioma and infantile hemangioma sharing many similar features as both are angiomatous with dramatic rapid proliferation of blood vessels that followed by involution but with different time periods and both carry CD133 and CD34 for infantile hemangioma and CD34 for burn hemangioma. Also infantile hemangioma rapidly responds to systemic propranolol and similarly do in cases of burn hemangioma. Accordingly it is more better scientifically to call scalded pyogenic granuloma burn hemangioma. The objective of the present report is to review these conditions and do comparison between them and also to record 6 cases of burn hemangioma and its effective therapy with oral propranolol.
