Overview

Infantile hemangioendothelioma is a rare benign vascular tumour arising from mesenchymal tissue and is usually located in the liver. It often presents in infancy with cardiac failure because of extensive arteriovenous shunting within the lesion. It is the third most common liver tumor in children, the most common benign vascular tumor of the liver in infancy, and the most common symptomatic liver tumor during the first 6 months of life.[1]

Diagnosis

  • Infantile hemangioendotheliomas have a variable sonographic appearance and may be either hypoechoic or hyperechoic or may have mixed echogenicity.
  • Color Doppler US evaluation will show increased flow.
