Abstract
nfantile hepatic hemangiomas (IH) represent a rare but important group of benign liver tumors in children. Although often asymptomatic, large or symptomatic hemangiomas can cause severe complications requiring timely therapeutic intervention. Diagnosis relies on advanced imaging modalities such as Doppler ultrasound, CT, and MRI. We report the case of a newborn with a prenatally detected abdominal mass initially suspected to be a cystic lymphangioma. Following treatment with propranolol, a significant reduction in the mass size was observed, leading to the diagnosis of a rapidly involuting congenital hepatic hemangioma (RICH). This case illustrates the efficacy of propranolol in the management of symptomatic hepatic hemangiomas in neonates.
