Abstract
Congenital heart failure in the neonate supported by classic imaging findin gs may allow the implementation of medical therapy for presumed hemangioend othelioma without obtaining a tissue diagnosis. This case report describes a neonate with these classic clinical and radiographic findings but who und erwent surgery for failing medical treatment and was diagnosed as having a hepatoblastoma by pathology. This case supports the need to obtain tissue c onfirmation before beginning medical therapy.
