*1, 3 and 4*
- Salmon patches are **capillary malformations**, not true hemangiomas, which are benign vascular tumors.

*1, 2 and 4*
- Salmon patches are **capillary malformations**, not hemangiomas, and are common in children and usually found on the nape of the neck.
- They are benign and **do not require surgical excision**, as most fade spontaneously.
