Infantile haemangioendotheliomas (IHE) of the liver are congenital lesions noted at birth or during the first 6 months of life. Hepatomegaly, congestive heart failure, and haemangiomas of the skin combine to form the classic symptomatic triad.2 To our knowledge, this is the first report of a congenital circumscribed choroidal haemangioma and the first noted association of a circumscribed choroidal haemangioma with a visceral neoplasm. CASE REPORT A 3.75 kg male with an uncomplicated prenatal history was born at full term by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery. At birth, the patient was noted to have a single 1 cm diameter cutaneous haemangioendothelioma of his left upper extremity. There was no family history of … ER -
