Abstract

The authors describe a 10-week-old girl with infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma who initially presented with difficulty feeding, hepatomegaly, and multiple hemangiomas of the skin. Six weeks of steroid therapy and 2 weeks of chemotherapy failed to produce clinical improvement. The patient underwent split liver transplantation. A definitive diagnosis of hemangioendothelioma type II was made. Imaging studies cannot differentiate between hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. Treatment modalities for this condition remain unclear. The patient continues to do well.
