[Cutaneous haemangioma associated with a hepatic haemangioma and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)].
OBJECTIVE
To present a girl with cutaneous cavernous hemangioma associated with hemangioma of the liver and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).


METHODS
A 3 year old girl showed cutaneous cavernous hemangioma on the right hypochondral region and numerous caf au lait spots. She was studied with abdominal echography and abdominal and thoracic magnetic resonance (MR) as well as with cerebral MR angiography.


RESULTS
Both image studies, echography and MR, revealed a mass 2 x 2 cm of hemangiomatous type in the upper zone of the liver, near the external cutaneous cavernous hemangioma. Echographical follow up showed a progressive diminution of the hepatic hemangioma size. At 2 1/2 years of age a voluminous thoracic tumor extending between aorta and sternon very difficult of being removed was found.


CONCLUSIONS
Hemangioma of the liver appears to be related with cutaneous cavernous hemangioma as a finding of the syndrome of Pascual Castroviejo II. Furthermore, the patient has NF1 which has not been previously related with the cutaneous and/or the liver pathology.
