ABSTRACT
A one-month-old girl presented with multiple cutaneous hemangiomas, abnormal weight gain, hepatomegaly, and symptoms of bleeding disorder. Abdominal ultrasound and CT revealed a multifocal hypervascular hepatic tumor and signs of vascular overload. Biopsy confirmed the presence of an infantile hepatic hemangioma. Conservative treatment with high dose steroids showed regression of the hepatic lesions and the signs of vascular congestion. Ultrasound was used for follow-up and its role in treatment monitoring is discussed in this manuscript.
