Extensive airway hemangiomas in two patients without beard hemangiomas.

Airway hemangiomas are most often seen in association with cutaneous hemangiomas involving the "beard area." We report two unusual cases of extensive airway hemangiomas developing in patients with facial hemangiomas predominantly involving the upper face, emphasizing the need to consider the possibility of airway hemangiomas even in the absence of "beard area" hemangiomas.
