Hepatic benign vascular tumor in infancy: correlative imaging.
The use of multiple imaging modalities to diagnose hepatic hemangioendothelioma in a neonate is demonstrated. This approach avoided operative intervention to establish the diagnosis. Tc-99m sulfur colloid and Tc-99m PIPIDA scintigraphy was used to define the nature of sonographic hypoechoic structures in the liver, and angiography was employed to confirm the suspected diagnosis.
