title: Case of biliary lithiasis in an infant.
abstract: The case of a 3-month-old premature infant deceased by massive hemorrhage from a giant hemangioma of the right thigh, exhibiting also biliary lithiasis, is discussed. The six dark-green-blackish faceted calculi contained by the gall bladder appear to be formed of biliary pigment and the consequence of repeated inflammatory hemolytic episodes in an immunodeficient infant.
