  • Title: Coexistence of a giant splenic hemangioma and multiple hepatic hemangiomas mimicking a left adrenal neuroblastoma accompanied with multifocal hepatic metastases: pyrite answer.
    Author: Wang J, Pei G, Yan J, Zhang G.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2009 Dec; 31(12):983-4. PubMed ID: 19935098.
    Abstract:
    A 4-month girl presenting with a giant mass in left adrenal region and multiple hepatic nodules was hospitalized. On the basis of computed tomography, ultrasound and epidemiology we preferred the diagnosis of a left adrenal neuroblastoma accompanied with multiple hepatic metastases preoperatively. But postoperative diagnosis was hemangiomatosis characterized by synchronous presence of a giant splenic hemangioma and multiple hepatic hemangiomas. We think that it is deservedly reported because of not only its rarity but also pitfalls of preoperative differential diagnosis and management principle.
