Abstract

Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) historically called “hemangiomaendothelioma” refers to visceral manifestation of infantile hemangioma. The diagnosis of infantile hepatic hemangioma is primarily based on the radiological features. We present a case of 4 month old infant who presented with abdominal distention. Contrast enhanced CT demonstrated typical features of diffuse infantile hepatic hemangiomas.
