ABSTRACT
Benign and malignant liver tumors in infants are being
detected perinatally with increasing frequency using ultra-
sound. The spectrum of such pathologic masses in newborns
and infants is different from that in older children (see Fig.
86.1). With advances in the understanding of the biology of
these tumors over the last decade, the approach to their
treatment has also evolved. This chapter aims to describe the
current and evolving approaches to the management of the
most common benign and malignant liver tumors occurring
in newborns (see Table 86.1).
