Paediatric hepatic angiosarcoma with consumptive hypothyroidism —an important diagnostic pitfall to avoid during evaluation of hepatic vascular tumours

We present a case of hepatic angiosarcoma in a 20-month-old girl, associated with consumptive hypothyroidism and, as a result, initially misdiagnosed as infantile hepatic haemangioma. Radiologists should be aware that consumptive hypothyroidism is not a reliable feature to use in  excluding paediatric hepatic angiosarcoma. Biopsy should be performed in patients older than 1 year of age or with atypical imaging features.Graphical abstract
