Vasoformative tissue tumors (heamangiomas) are frequent in children just after delivery. Quick tumor growth during the first 8–16 months of life is often changed (in 70–80 % of cases) by spontaneous continual involution. Prognosis is not always such favorable in haemangiomas of head and neck region. In these cases a causal therapy is necessary. In exact diagnostics, non invasive methods as ultrasonography, dopplerometry, CT or MR are used frequently. A strictly individual therapy requests a good collaboration of specialists in paediatry and other medical disciplines. In the case report the authors demonstrate the course and results of treatment of two couple of twins suffered from multiple cavernous haemangiomas of the face, thoracic and dorsal region.
