Congenital hemihypertrophy and epithelioid haemangioendothelioma in a 10-year-old boy: a case report.
Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma has not been previously described in a patient with congenital hemihypertrophy and diabetes mellitus. Hepatic nodules were incidentally discovered on a routine US examination searching for known associated abnormalities. Pulmonary nodules were present on chest X-ray and CT of the lungs. The diagnosis was confirmed by open biopsy of a hepatic nodule. Despite significant disease progression the patient remains symptom free.
