Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate the clinical efficacy of leuprolide a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist GnRHa in treating infants with vision-endangering or large disfiguring hemangiomas

II Assess the impact of GnRHa on growth and development during infancy III Assess the safety of GnHRa in these patients
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE This is a randomized placebo-controlled study Patients are stratified according to gender and by position of the lesion periorbital vs nonperiorbital

All patients receive oral prednisone daily for 3 weeks Patients are then randomized to receive either placebo or leuprolide IM every 3 weeks while continuing oral prednisone Tumors are assessed at 1 3 and 6 weeks If the tumor is not responding the leuprolide will be administered every 2 weeks Tumors are reassessed at 3 and 6 months at which point the treatment is stopped Responding patients are observed every 3 weeks for 3 months If the tumor begins to grow again leuprolide may be administered for another 3 months Patients whose tumors grow rapidly during treatment may crossover to the alternate therapy repeat the leuprolide or prednisone therapy or undergo surgical excision
