RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of a congenital hepatic hemangioma treated with surgery. METHODS: We report the case of a 6-day-old boy who presented a giant hepatic hemangioma, and describe its evolution. RESULTS: The child developed hemodynamic instability secondary to consumption coagulopathy and respiratory failure. The image studies were inconclusive. He was submitted to surgery with complete resection of the tumor. Pathology confirmed it was hemangioma. The child was discharged after 15 days and is well, without symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Hepatic hemangiomas should be treated conservatively, with surgery reserved for intractable cardiac failure and/or refractory consumptive coagulopaty.
