Pediatric Tumors of the Liver

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

Liver tumors are rare in children, representing 1.5–3% of all tumors (Kramarova et al. 1996; Newman 1997; Stocker et al. 1998; Tschappeler 1993; Vos 1995). They usually present with abdominal distension, occasionally with pain, fever, pallor, anemia or jaundice. The main problem is the differentiation between benign (Luks et al. 1991) and malignant tumors. About 60% of liver tumors are malignant. Alpha-fetoprotein serum level is an essential test in diagnosis and follow-up of a liver tumor. It is elevated in about 90% of hepatoblastoma (HB) and 80% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Brunelle et al. 1994; Cohen 1992).
