Two cases of neonatal hemangiomatosis occurred in identical twins. Work‐up for internal hemangiomas were performed on both infants and were negative. Twin no. 1, with extensive lesions, is currently taking oral prednisone, 2 mg/kg/day, with gradual resolution of the lesions. So far, no new hemangiomas have developed in twin no. 2.
