S ummary Strawberry hacmangiomas, benign haemangioendotheliomas with Kasabach‐Merritt's syndrome, and cavernous haeniangiomas with arterio‐venous fistulas demonstrated hot thermograms with the maximum temperatures often exceeding 2°C above the surrounding or symmetrical normal skin level. Hot vascular radiating patterns were also frequent in the cavernous haemangiomas with arterio‐venous fistulas. Cavernous haemangiomas without arterio‐venous fistulas, portwine and telangiectatic naevi showed cold or insignificant thermograms. The infra‐red thermography was valuable in evaluating the types of haemangioma and in determining the therapeutic effects.
