Infantile hemangioendothelioma: A case report and discussion

Infantile hepatic hamangioendothelioma type II is similar to angiosarcoma in terms of histomorphology and behavior. Various presentations of this lesion have been reported in the literature, e.g. cases with a hepatic mass, cutaneous hemangiomas, heart failure, etc. We report on a patient, male/2 years, who had two jejunal masses and a hepatic mass accompanied by lower GI bleeding and intestinal obstruction. The two jejunal masses and the hepatic lesion were diagnosed as angiosarcoma histomorphologically (IHHE type II), and were positive for vascular markers (CD31 and CD34) on immunohistochemistry. The patient had no skin lesions. We report this case and provide a literature review because of the unusual presentation and the overall rarity of this entity.
