    Infant liver masses are diverse, including hepatoblastomas and abscesses. Early ultrasound is key for diagnosing these pediatric liver lesions efficiently.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Radiology
    • Hepatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Primary liver masses in infants are rare but present a diagnostic challenge.
    • Differential diagnosis includes neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions.
    • Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnostic features of various primary liver masses in infants.
    • To discuss the effective utilization of imaging modalities for infant liver lesions.
    • To emphasize the role of ultrasound in early diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 16 infant liver masses (age < 2 years) from four centers over 12 years.
    • Analysis of diagnostic features across different imaging modalities.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluation of the utility of ultrasound in the diagnostic pathway.

    • Main Results:

    • The cohort included hepatoblastomas (n=6), benign vascular tumors (n=5), amebic abscesses (n=3), a simple hepatic cyst, and a calcified cystic hematoma.
    • Diagnostic features of each lesion type were identified.
    • Ultrasound demonstrated significant utility as a rapid diagnostic tool.

    Conclusions:

    • A wide spectrum of primary liver masses occurs in infants.
    • Modern ultrasound techniques provide a diagnostic shortcut for infant liver masses.
    • Early ultrasound examination is recommended for infants with suspected liver masses.
