Imaging investigations and other findings observed in a term infant with a multicentric hepatic hemangioendothelioma, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at the age of 13 days because of non specified feeding difficulties and dyspnoea, are presented. Physical examination revealed cardiac bruit and congestive heart failure with marked hepatomegaly; in addition there were multiple small skin hemangiomas. Echocardiography was negative, abdominal sonography showed multiple round lesions of mixed echogenicity in the liver, large vascular channels, a right hepatic artery and hepatic veins enlarged, a caliber of the aorta below the level of the superior mesenteric artery reduced. The infant was additionally investigated by whole-body scintigraphy with 99mTc-labeled red blood cells to determine the possibility of coexistence of other visceral hemangiomas and by MR, in which the tumor manifested as multiple well-circumscribed space-occupying nodules of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images with evidence of fast flow. The baby underwent furosemide and steroid therapy: serial two-dimensional US scans showed change in echogenicity, responding to therapy. Doppler sonography has proven to be also very useful in the monitoring therapy determining changes in flow pattern and velocity at the level of hepatic, cerebral and renal vessels: before therapy we observed a reduction of the diastolic flow until the zero line through the internal carotid artery and renal artery with an increase of the Resistance Index. It means that this important component can be compromised in the presence of a hepatic hemangioendothelioma.
