Abstract:

　Port-wine stain (PWS) is a congenital, progressive capillary malformation that does not recede spontaneously.
The incidence of PWS in the newborn is about 0.3% to 0.5%. The early clinical manifestations are pink spots or plaques, which
are more common on the face. With age, the color of the lesions deepens. Also, most patients will develop hypertrophy during
their adult life, which increases the difficulty of treatment, and adversely influence patients’ psychology and quality of life. The treatment of hypertrophic PWS was reviewed in this paper.
