ABSTRACT
Infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma (IHE) is a rare angiogenic tumour with diverse clinical presentations and varied course ranging from spontaneous regression to life-threatening complications. The authors report a 2-year boy who presented with respiratory distress and was identified as a case of inoperable multi-focal hepatic IHE. He showed a transient response to trans-arterial-chemo-embolisation and liver resection but had progressive disease despite chemotherapy (prednisolone/vicristine/ifosfamide/cisplatin). Thereafter, he was successfully managed with metronomic therapy using cyclophosphamide and tamoxifen.
