Congenital Infantile Hepatic
Hemangioendothelioma Type II Treated With Orthotopic Liver
Transplantation.
Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. 26(2):121-123, February 2004.
Walsh, Rowan MD; Harrington, John MD; Beneck, Debra MD; Ozkaynak, M.
Fevzi MDAbstract: The authors describe a 10-week-old girl
with infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma who initially presented with
difficulty feeding, hepatomegaly, and multiple hemangiomas of the skin.
Six weeks of steroid therapy and 2 weeks of chemotherapy failed to
produce clinical improvement. The patient underwent split liver
transplantation. A definitive diagnosis of hemangioendothelioma type II
was made. Imaging studies cannot differentiate between
hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. Treatment modalities for this
condition remain unclear. The patient continues to do well. |
