Infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma (IHH) is a rare, benign vascular tumor that originates from mesenchymal tissue in the liver. Although IHH is benign, it may develop life-threatening complications. We describe a 5-week-old female with a tumorous mass in the right hepatic lobe. Imaging methods pointed to an IHH diagnosis, but we could not rule out hepatoblastoma. Due to the risk of life-threat ening complications, the tumor was surgically removed. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of IHH.

Keywords: hepatic hemangioendothelioma, hemangioendothelioma of the liver, infantile hemangioendothelioma, hemangioendothelioma in infants
