| Abstract: | ![]()
An autopsy of a six-hour-old term neonate, who died during surgery for repair of a left diaphragmatic hernia, revealed an infantile hemangioendothelioma type I arising in a heterotopic lobe of liver in the left thorax. The upper pole of the tumor was attached by fibrovascular tissue to the lower lobe of the left hypoplastic lung. A pedicle attached to the lower pole of the heterotopic liver pierced through the diaphragm to the left lobe of the normal liver. This case is an example of an unusual association of congenital malformation and putative neoplasm. |
