 Objective  To evaluate the therapeutic effects of pingyangmycin in treatment of body surface hemangioma in children.
 Methods  The clinical data of 1 658 children patients with hemangioma on body surface in which pingyangmycin was injected between January 1997 and January 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.
 Results  All 1 658 patients were observed for 6-12 months, with average of 10.83 months. The total effective rate was 97.09%. Compared among different types of hemangioma, total effective rate had significant difference (χ2=203.12, P<0.01), and complete remission (CR) rate had significant difference (χ2=287.97, P<0.01). The therapeutic effect of pingyangmycin in treatment of cavernous hemangioma was better than that of strawberry hemangioma, mixed hemangioma and portwine stain, which was better instrawberry hemangioma than mixed hemangioma and portwine stain, and which was lower in portwine stain than other hemangiomas. Fifty-four patients (3.26%) caught partial necrotic ulcer of hemangioma. There were 418 cases (25.21%) of fever and 3 cases (0.18%) of allergic shock.
 Conclusion  Intratumorally pingyangmycin injection is a simple, safe and effective therapy for hemangioma of body surface in children.
