Case report
A 28-year-old woman (G1P0) with non-contributive history was sent to our department at 32 weeks of her pregnancy due to cystic lesions within fetal abdomen that were considered to be dilated bowel loops.
Our examination revealed a multicystic mass within right lobe of the liver. Slow movement of fluid could be recognized within cystic parts with more striking peripheral vascularization.
In our differential diagnostic consideration we were thinking about hepatic hemangioma.
The baby was delivered at term and the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma was confirmed. Kasabach-Merritt syndrome had developed but was managed successfully and the baby is doing fine.
