Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, aggressive vascular tumor that typically occurs during infancy or early childhood.KHEs grow in various locations and generally exhibit extensive heterogenity. They are characterized by highly infiltrativeand locally invasive clinical properties with ill-defined margins. The imaging methods used in our case-report demonstrated theirbenefit in a difficult diagnostic process.
