A 37 year-old-woman was admitted to the hospital because of 15 days' duration of continuous fever. Routine studies for detection of fever foci were negative. Imaging studies revealed giant hemangioma of the liver with central thrombosis. The fever persisted for a period of 4 weeks, and subsided after conservative management. We report a case of hepatic hemangioma presenting with fever of unknown origin. The condition is very rare, but should be regarded as one of the causes of fever of unknown origin.

A littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a rare benign vascular tumor of the spleen. A 60-year-old man, with multiple nodules in imaging study and liver cirrhosis graded as Child-Pugh classification class A, was transferred for splenomegaly. A thrombocytopenia was found on hematological evaluation. Because there was no evidence of hematological and visceral malignancy, a splenectomy was performed for a definitive diagnosis. The histological and immunohistochemical features of the splenic specimens were consistent with a LCA. After the splenectomy, the thrombocytopenia recovered to the normal platelet count. There has been no previous report of a LCA combined with liver cirrhosis. Herein, the first case of a LCA in Korea, diagnosed and treated by a splenectomy, is reported.

A clinical analysis was made on in-patients with 69 cases of orbital CT Scanning and 25 operated cases, who were referred to our clinic during the last 3 years, from 1977 to 1980. The results which were analized by orbital CT Scanning and pathological findings were obtained as follows: 1) All age groups were represented in the orbital CT Scanning analysis. The sexual distr ibution taken the orbital CT Scanning revealed 44 males (63.8%) and 25 females (36.2%). 2) The chief complaints of those having the orbital CT Scanning were proptosis (65.2%), abnormalities of the extraocular muscle movements (49.3%), visual disturbance, ptosis with lid edema, and ocular pain in that erder. 3) The positional frequencies of the orbital tumors, which were noted by orbital CT Scanning, were superior-nasal quadrant, superior-temporal quadrant, inferior-nasal quadrant, inferior-temporal quadrant and orbit respectively. 4) The crbital CT Scanning showed 100 percent accuracy in determining the position of the tumor and 64 percent accuracy was seen in diagnosing the nature of the tumor as comp ared with pathological findings. The results show that orbital CT Scanning is a very accurate method of investigating the orbit. 5) The common orbital tumors were benign hemangioma and inflammatory pseudotumor. Fifteen of the orbital tumors were benign and eight were malignant. 6) The commonly used operating methods to remove the orbital tumor were superior orbitotomy (46.2%) and Kronlein operation (23.0%). 7) Slight degree limitation of the eyeball movement and ptosis were frequently noted as postoperative complications.

The three-day-old female infant was admitted to the hospital due to respiratory distress after birth. She was born premature at 36⁺² weeks gestational age. Prenatal ultrasound suggested abnormal development of the fetal liver vessels, and she had dyspnea that required respiratory support after birth. Chest X-ray indicated an enlarged cardiac silhouette, and cardiac ultrasound revealed enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle. Diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma with arteriovenous fistula was confirmed through liver ultrasound and abdominal enhanced CT. At 19 days old, she underwent ligation of the hepatic artery under general anesthesia, which led to an improvement in cardiac function and she was subsequently discharged. Genetic testing revealed a mutation in the ACVRL1 gene, which was inherited from the mother. The article primarily introduces a case of neonatal heart failure caused by hepatic hemangioma with arteriovenous fistula, and multi-disciplinary diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
