Infantile hepatic hemangioendotheliomas associated with hemihypertrophy.
An infant presented with congenital hemihypertrophy, hepatomegaly, and a low thoracic paraspinal mass. Liver scan showed multiple defects in the uptake of radioisotope. Surgical exploration revealed multiple infantile hemangioendotheliomas of the liver and a paraspinal hemangioendothelioma. In review of 69 reported cases of infantile hemangioendothelioma of the liver and viscera, there has been no previous note of hemihypertrophy associated with this abnormality.
