Abstract

We report a case of a premature male newborn who died from multiple organ failure due to a large congenital hepatic haemangioma that was diagnosed by imaging. Congenital haemangioma is a vascular tumour. The liver is the second organ involved after the skin. This tumour can be asymptomatic but can also lead to death.
