Hepatic hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that represent 5-15% of all liver tumors. They occur more often in females than in males (relation 2:1). They may produce cardiac failure, because of high output; less frequently hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia or bleeding are observed. We present a case of a newborn premature child with a gestation age of 34 weeks and weight of 1359 g who presents a palpable abdominal tumor in the right hypochondrium without additional symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound with Doppler system any by means of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) both methods were able localize the hemangioma in the posterior segment of the right hepatic lobulus. MRI is a diagnostic tool which can provide finer anatomic details than ultrasound or axial computed tomography in hepatic hemangiomas. MRI has a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 92%; the treatment depends of the complications which the patient presents.
