title: Malignant hemangioendothelioma presenting as omental masses in a child.
abstract: Malignant hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon lesion of the omentum in children. Multiple foci of malignant hemangioendothelioma is even more rare in the omentum. In the present case, a computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed multiple enhanced nodular lesions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this tumor occurring in a child.
