Abstract
A 10-month-old infant with multiple infantile hepatic hemangiomas and developmental delay is reported. He was found to be profoundly hypothyroid. Evaluation and management issues are discussed. This case emphasizes the importance of screening for hypothyroidism in patients with hemangiomas and the potential therapeutic benefit of prednisolone therapy in this condition.Entities:
