Rubinstein Taybi syndrome with hepatic hemangioma.
OBJECTIVE
It was the aim of our study to present a case of Rubinstein Taybi syndome (RTS) associated with hepatic hemangioma.


METHODS
A 6.5-year-old boy was diagnosed with RTS. He had large areas of cutaneous capillary hemangiomas. Radiological examination revealed a hepatic hemangioma. A multidisciplinary follow-up program was commenced and hepatic ultrasound examinations were performed periodically. No progression and complication have since occurred.


CONCLUSIONS
This case shows an association between RTS and hepatic hemangioma, and hence, we recommend regular hepatic ultrasound examination when RTS is suspected or diagnosed.
