This case report presents a preterm neonate born at 34 weeks of gestation with soft tissue
hemangioma and transient tachypnea. Hemangiomas are typically congenital anomalies commonly seen
in the pediatric population. These benign, highly vascularized, soft, sponge-like tumors can occasionally
occur in atypical locations. Here, we report the clinical and radiological findings of a neonate with a
hemangioma located at the intersection of the right inguinal and lateral proximal femoral regions,
measuring approximately 6×8 cm at the base with a height of 2–3 cm. This study discusses the clinical
presentation and therapeutic approaches based on the current literature.
