Abstract:
Hemangioendothelioma is the most common tumor of liver in infancy characterized by heart failure due to arteriovenous shunt and thrombocytopenia. Recently with the advance of technology, this tumor can be diagnosed with antenatal ultrasonography. We report a case of hemangioendothelioma that demonstrates huge abdominal mass with increased blood flow in liver detected by ultrasonography.
