title: [Prenatal diagnosis of hepatic hemangioendothelioma. Apropos of a case].
abstract: An antenatal echography performed at 32 weeks of amenorrhoea revealed a formation in the liver. Other tests during the antenatal period were unable to provide an exact diagnosis which was only established after exploratory laparotomy after birth. A review of the literature showed that this hepatic tumour has been diagnosed in 3 reported cases antenatally. Haemangioendothelioma occurring during the antenatal period is difficult to diagnose and the severe forms discovered by echography have a poor prognosis.
