Background

Most infantile hemangiomas are present in the skin, but they can occur in the viscera such as liver or gastrointestinal system [3].

The natural history of infantile hepatic hemangiomas consists in a rapid, proliferative growth phase for the first six months of life, followed by regression and involution [1].

Screening for liver IHs by ultrasonography is recommended when 5 or more cutaneous IHs are noted. However, the majority of IHHs are discovered as incidental findings during routine imaging [3].

Imaging characteristics that were found included the focal distribution of lesion, low flow vascularity of lesion, echogenicity, presence of calcifications, presence of abnormal vessels (on ultrasound), and presence of shunts (direct arteriovenous or portal venous communications on sonography or arterialization of venous waveforms on Doppler ultrasound) [4].
