Abstract
Benign vascular tumors of liver are uncommon tumors and divided into infantile hemangioendothelioma and cavernous hemangioma. We report the case of a 25-day-old female child who presented with an abdominal distension. CT abdomen showed hypoattenuating mass in left lobe of liver. The mass was excised and pathologic diagnosis of infantile hemangioendothelioma  of liver was made. Hemangioendothelioma of liver has been reported as most common benign symptomatic vascular tumor of the liver in infancy.
