    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study reviewed 27 pediatric liver neoplasms, finding hepatoblastoma most common. Early diagnosis and left lobectomy offer better prognoses for these childhood liver tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Context:

    • Liver neoplasms in infants and children present diagnostic challenges.
    • A 15-year retrospective review of pediatric liver tumors was conducted at a national medical center.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the types, demographics, clinical presentation, and outcomes of pediatric liver neoplasms.
    • To identify prognostic factors and optimal treatment strategies for childhood liver tumors.

    Summary:

    • The study analyzed 27 cases including hepatoblastoma (16), mesenchymal hamartoma (4), hepatocellular carcinoma (2), infantile hemangioendothelioma (2), and rare bile duct tumors.
    • Hepatoblastoma and mesenchymal hamartoma are more common in children under 2 years, while hepatocellular carcinoma appears after age 5.
    • Clinical manifestations were non-specific; rapid growth in mesenchymal hamartomas mimicked malignancy. Left lobectomy showed better prognosis, with the right lobe frequently affected and lungs being common metastasis sites.
