title: Massive hepatic congenital haemangioma: clinical dilemmas.
abstract: A case of massive hepatomegaly secondary to a hepatic congenital haemangioma in a preterm neonate is described. This infant died after withdrawal of neonatal intensive care support, following massive intracerebral haemorrhage. There remains considerable uncertainty regarding the classification of, and therapy for, hepatic vascular anomalies.
