Abstract:Infantile hepatic hemangioma is a tumor arising from the mesenchymal liver tissue. Presentation varies from being asymptomatic to having life threatening complications. They can manifest as solitary or multicentric lesions. We hereby, report a one and half month old child who presented with respiratory distress and was incidentally found to have a liver mass, which eventually was diagnosed as infantile hepatic hemangioma and successfully treated with propranolol.
