Introduction: Infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma (HHI) is the primary liver tumor more common in childhood. Usually occurs before the 6 months of age. These tumors can be diagnosed in utero, where the large arteriovenous shunting cause non-inmune hydrops fetalis. Objetive: Describe a case of a dead fetus with a hepatic hemangioendothelioma and a discussion on this topic is done. Clinical case: Product of pregnancy of 33 weeks of gestation in a 23 years old woman, obstetrical ultrasound evidenced fetal hydrops secondary to the presence of liver tumor, the patient died minutes after birth. The necropsy showed a male fetus of 3250gr in weight, with a liver tumor with solid features, which histopathological examination corresponds to a HHI. Conclusions: We report the pathological study of a perinatal autopsy done to a fetus with a congenital tumor, an HHI that cause non-inmune hydrops fetalis. Salud UIS 2010; 42: 123-126.
