Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, locally aggressive vascular neoplasm that mainly occurs during childhood. Although KHE may involve various organs, involvement of the choledochus has not been reported. We report a case of KHE in a 5-month-old male infant. The patient was admitted with icterus and acholic stool. Contrast computed tomography revealed a vascular tumor in the hepatic portal region causing biliary obstruction. Excision of the extrahepatic duct and hepatoportoenterostomy were performed successfully, and he has been well during 3 years of postoperative follow-up.
