Core Tip |
Pediatric liver masses are diverse, with distinct patterns based on age. This minireview categorizes benign and malignant hepatic lesions by age group, emphasizing imaging characteristics for accurate diagnosis and management. Key findings include the prominence of hepatoblastoma in infants, hepatocellular carcinoma in older children, and various benign lesions such as focal nodular hyperplasia and hepatocellular adenoma. Advanced imaging techniques, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, play a crucial role in identifying and staging these masses, helping clinicians tailor effective management strategies in pediatric hepatology, particularly in lower-middle income countries. |
