Abstract

Hepatic hemangioma is the most prevalent benign liver tumor during the fetal and neonatal period, and its rupture poses a severe threat to newborns' lives-this article presents a case involving the spontaneous rupture of a hepatic hemangioma in a neonate. Early diagnosis through ultrasound enabled prompt treatment, resulting in the patient's timely discharge.
