Differential diagnosis and management of liver tumors in infants

Figure 1 Cutaneous hemangiomatosis.

Figure 2 Abdominal computed tomography-contrast. Focal hepatic hemangioma that shows centripetal enhancement and central sparing because of thrombosis, necrosis and/or intralesional hemorrhage.

Figure 3 Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging-contrast. Diffuse hepatic hemangioma that nearly totally replaces the liver.

Figure 4 Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. A: Abdominal computed tomography-contrast shows enhancement of the solid component, septate, and the peripheral rim; B: Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging-contrast shows a high signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance sequences.

Figure 5 Surgical resection of mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver.

Figure 6 Doppler-US of the liver allows to investigate the relation between the tumor and the hepatic vessels. 1: Aorta; 2: Inferior vena cava; 3: Hepatic portal vein; 4: Left portal vein; 5: Right portal vein; 6 Tumor.
