Abstract
Four children out of 6 survived major hepatic resection for tumor. Three remain well for periods of 6 to 12 months after the operation. One was an unusual tumor, a hepatic carcinoma in the otherwise normal liver of a child. Comments are made on points of operative technique. Although the bile-ducts were not drained, significant leakage of bile did not occur, possibly because the liver was divided with diathermy. An aggressive attitude to these tumors seems justified.
