Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) and mesenchymal hamartoma (MH) form the first and second most common benign hepatic tumors in children. In this case report, we present a newborn child in whom a growing hepatic mass was discovered at the age of 7 days. She suffered also from anemia, respiratory and renal failure. No signs of heart disease or cutaneous lesions were detected. Alpha-fetoprotein was elevated for her age (3562.2 ng/ml). Imaging studies showed multifocal large cystic lesions associated with heterogeneous small solid lesions with arterial enhancement of the liver. Non-anatomical liver resection was performed initially and synchronous MH and IHH GLUT-1 positive were discovered in the pathological analysis. Segmental IV hepatic resection and later on selective cysts excision were done for persistent hepatic lesion despite medical treatment. After 14 months of beta-blockers treatment, clinical follow-up shows a healthy child with no residual cystic lesions.

Five cases (three male and two female) of dorsal spinal haemangioma in the age group of 16-43 years, presenting as compressive myelopathy, are reported. Three of them had vertebral haemangioma with extradural extension. One patient had isolated extradural haemangioma and one had extramedullary intradural haemangioma. One female patient presented during the seventh month of gestation and one case had associated cyanotic congenital heart disease. All except one had slowly progressive evolution of complaints. The duration of symptoms ranged from two weeks to six months.

Cardiac hemangioma is a benign and rare primary tumor of the heart. Though it has benign histopathological features, its complications can be life-threatening. We report a young adult male without any prior structural heart disease or medical history who presented with ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Echocardiography revealed an echogenic mass located intramurally in the left lateral ventricle and its distinctive characteristics were revealed with further imaging modalities. Though simple complete removal of the mass is the preferred treatment, its firm texture and thinned encircling myocardium prevented the total excision. In this case report, we discussed cardiac hemangioma, its potential complications and treatment options.
