Neonatal hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma causing cardiac failure and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
Even with advance prenatal diagnostic tools, differentiating among specific types of hepatic masses continues to challenge many physicians. Here, we report a neonate with life-threatening hepatic mass, cardiac failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, which clinically resembled hepatic hemangioma. A hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma was detected by postmortem pathology.
