“…The preventive procedures such as external compression and the surgical tie after birth are likely to have had beneficial effects on the postnatal course. Although it is well-documented that a large tumor with high vascularity may cause perinatal cardiac failure 2,6 , the clinical course of the present case indicates that postnatal enlargement and increased cardiac volume load associated with the blood pressure rise and removal of intrauterine pressure should also be anticipated. Detailed antenatal evaluation of the tumor and circulatory conditions provide information for the appropriate preventive procedures against circulatory failure after birth.…”

“…2,7,11,12,16,18,20,21 Imaging studies have been useful in the diagnosis of IHE. These lesions may be detected prenatally by using ultrasonography, 1,3 as in our case in which the lesion simulated the appearance of a conventional occipital encephalocele. In the case described by Pearl, et al, 17 and in our case, imaging studies demonstrated defects in the occipital bone in proximity to the transverse sinuses.…”

“…Infantile hemangioendothelioma can be found in the literature to bear several names such as infantile hemangioendothelioma Types 1 and 2, 10 cellular angioma of infancy, 13 benign hemangioendothelioma, 17 infantile (juvenile) capillary hemangioma, 23 and nonmalignant hemangioen- dothelioma. 1 This confusing nosology of IHE obviously leads to difficulty in providing adequate evaluation of the treatment and prognosis of these lesions.…”

The case of a newborn infant with a large midline mass in the occipital region is presented. Skull x-ray films demonstrated multiple radiolucent defects in the occipital bone. A computerized tomography scan revealed an extracranial mass lesion with marked contrast enhancement. A magnetic resonance image demonstrated that the venous drainage of the lesion passed through the occipital bone into the dural venous sinuses. The anatomy of the hindbrain was normal. The neonate was treated by complete surgical removal of the mass. The histopathological diagnosis was infantile hemangioendothelioma, a tumor commonly found in the liver but rarely in this location. The classification, histopathological characteristics, imaging studies, and treatment of this tumor are discussed.

“…6,[16][17][18] In this case, cordocentesis was performed to rule out a fetal goiter; however, the incidental finding of thrombocytopenia suggested that this tumor was a hemangioma associated with KMS. Thus, if a fetal hemangioma is suspected, the hematologic and coagulation parameters of the fetal blood should be evaluated because they may, by identifying associated and serious complications such as KMS, confirm the diagnosis and lead to earlier and more appropriate management.…”
