Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) was performed in 3 children with hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma or hemangioendotheliomatosis. In each case, the tumor was identified as a mass with a lower attenuation value than surrounding normal liver tissue. The hemangioendothelioma became almost undetectable after i.v. injection of contrast agent. Identification of the intersegmental fissure of the left lobe allowed correct prediction of the segmental location of the solitary lesion(hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma) in the 2 patients who underwent subsequent partial hepatic resection.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
