HEPATOBLASTOMA AS A CAUSE OF INTRAUTERINE FETAL DEATH

Abstract
A hepatoblastoma was found in a 36 wk stillborn infant. The tumor compressed the inferior vena cava and was the cause of hydrops fetalis. There was also agenesis of the gall bladder. Amniotic fluid .alpha.-fetoprotein levels at 15 wk were normal and did not indicate the presence of the tumor.
