Abstract
Infantile hemangioendothelioma (IHH) is the most common benign tumor of the liver in children, which accounts for 12% of all pediatric liver tumors, and hepatoblastoma (HBL) is the most common malignant liver tumor in children. Although they share some clinical manifestations, the treatment strategies and prognoses are quite different. The most important alternative diagnosis to IHH in children is HBL. Histopathologic confirmation of a radiologically suspected hemangioendothelioma is often obtained before medical treatment is initiated. We are presenting here a case of HBL in a 2-year-male child misdiagnosed as having IHH on imaging studies.
