Symptomatic hepatic hemangioendothelioma in a newborn.

[Successful treatment with prednisone in a critical ill newborn with symptomatic multifocal infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma].

Infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma is the most common vascular tumor of the liver in infancy. The diagnosis can be enunciated without histological defnition, if the clinical, analytical and images fndings are very suggestive; particularly in children less than six months old, because the biopsy is not exempt of complications. We report a female patient, four days old and 3500 g, who develop...

Infantile Hepatic Hemangioendothelioma: An Uncommon Cause of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension in a Newborn Infant

Multifocal and diffuse infantile hepatic hemangioendotheliomas commonly present with signs of high-output congestive heart failure. In addition, prolonged persistent pulmonary overcirculation eventually leads to the development of pulmonary hypertension at a later age. We report a 2-day old, full-term infant with multifocal, large infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma, who presented with an ea...

nterferon Alpha-2B and Liver Resection to Treat Multifocal Hepatic pithelioid Hemangioendothelioma: A Relevant Approach to Avoid iver Transplantation

Background. Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare malignant tumor of vascular origin with frequent multifocal appearance. Liver resection may cause tumor spread. Liver transplantation has been indicated for unresectable nodules. We hypothesized that adjuvant interferon treatment is effective to prevent metastasis after liver resection. We report a case of multifocal hepatic epithel...
