Hemangioendothelioma of the spleen and liver in a 1-year-old child.

Abstract

Concurrent occurrence of hemangioendothelioma in the spleen and liver of a 1-year-old child is a rare clinical case.She had a history of good health. Laboratory tests showed elevated inflammatory markers, but all other parameters were within normal range.In this article, we exhibit the typical clinical presentation and Pathology imaging features of this disease.CT imaging revealed a 9.8 cm×8.6 cm mass in the spleen, with areas of non-enhancing liquefactive necrosis. The mass exhibited heterogeneous enhancement during the arterial phase and progressive enhancement during the venous phase. Multiple nodules were observed in liver segments S2 and S4, the largest being approximately 3.7 cm×3.5 mm, with enhancement patterns similar to the splenic lesion. The patient underwent splenectomy, left hemihepatectomy, and cholecystectomy. Intraoperatively, the splenic mass exhibited some areas appearing spongy. Multiple nodules were observed in the left liver, presenting as gray-brown solid masses with a spongy texture. Pathology confirmed a diagnosis of hemangioendothelioma, supported by positive immunohistochemical staining for CD31, CD34, ERG, and FLI-1.
