Successful treatment of a giant liver hemangioma in a premature neonate

A rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma (RICH) of the liver rarely causes cardiac failure due to arteriovenous shunting or respiratory compromise due to abdominal compartment syndrome. We present the case of a focal RICH in a preterm neonate who required embolization through the umbilical vein, with subsequent surgical resection.
