Abstract

Multifocal liver hemangioendothelioma is a rare tumor occurring in children less than 6-months-old. It can be life threatening during the first year of life because of possible hemorrhage or high output heart failure. Slow and often spontaneous recovery is the rule. The association of ultrasound and contrast-enhanced dynamic MR seems sufficient to establish the diagnosis.
