A 4‐month‐old infant had two 3 cm × 4 cm hemangiomatous lesions on the scalp and back, present since birth, which contained peculiar white‐yellowish small nodules. Histologically the lesions proved to have a hemangiomatous (capillary‐type) component together with small keratin‐containing epidermal cysts (milialike) which progressively extruded their contents. The lesions also contained embryonic‐like hair structures. The hemangiomas resolved spontaneously. We were unable to find any reference in the literature describing this peculiar combination of features.
