“…Congenital hemangioma was the more vascular of the two considerations based on color Doppler US characteristics and was correctly diagnosed in utero. Imaging features in our patient were concordant with prior prenatal reports [26,27]. On the other hand, the diagnosis of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma was not suspected prospectively.…”

Vascular anomalies can be detected in utero and should be considered in the setting of solid, mixed or cystic lesions in the fetus. Evaluation of the gray-scale and color Doppler US and MRI characteristics can guide diagnosis. We present a case-based pictorial essay to illustrate the prenatal imaging characteristics in 11 pregnancies with vascular malformations (5 lymphatic malformations, 2 Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, 1 venous-lymphatic malformation, 1 Parkes-Weber syndrome) and vascular tumors (1 congenital hemangioma, 1 kaposiform hemangioendothelioma). Concordance between prenatal and postnatal diagnoses is analyzed, with further discussion regarding potential pitfalls in identification.

“…8 Congenital hemangiomas are different from infantile hemangioma in that they are fully grown at birth and spontaneously regress by 12-14 months of age. 3,9 Infantile hemangioma, RICH, and NICH have overlapping clinical and pathologic features. RICH and NICH have many similarities, such as appearance, location, size, and sex distribution, and neither tumor exhibits neonatal growth.…”

We report a case of rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma of the flank, which was diagnosed in the 2(nd) trimester of gestation and showed complete involution before term. In our case sonography revealed a highly vascular soft tissue mass with smooth contours, which was isointense with the placenta on T2-weighted MR images. The fetus was born with scar tissue at the site of the lesion. To our knowledge this is the 1(st) reported case of rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma showing complete involution before term.

“…On MRI, RICHs exhibit large flow voids, heterogenous enhancement, and hyperintensity on T2-weighted sequences [53]. Prenatal detection of CHs is possible because these lesions form in utero [50,54,55].…”
