Primary hepatic tumors are uncommon in children and account for only three per cent of the tumors in children. Infantile hemangioendothelioma is a rare benign hepatic tumor arising from mesenchymal tissue. Most of the cases present before six months. An unusual presentation and progression of infantile hemangioendothelioma is reported in a 19-month-old female child. The diagnosis was arrived at by radiological and histopathological examination. The patient underwent excision surgery, following which made an uneventful recovery. On follow-up at six months, patient was asymptomatic with no evidence of recurrence.
原发性肝肿瘤在儿童中并不常见,仅占儿童肿瘤的3%。婴儿血管内皮瘤是一种罕见的起源于间叶组织的良性肝肿瘤。大多数病例在6个月前出现。本文报道了一名19个月大女童的婴儿血管内皮瘤的不寻常表现及病程。通过放射学和组织病理学检查得出诊断。患者接受了切除手术,术后恢复顺利。在6个月的随访中,患者无症状,无复发迹象。
