Abstract:
Primary liver tumors in children are not rare, and the incidence of malignant liver tumors in children ranks third of all malignant abdominal tumors in children, with the features of a high rate of malignancy, a high incidence of congenital tumors, and a specific age of onset. Liver tumors in children often have no specific clinical manifestations, with an insidious onset, a large volume of tumor lesion, various pathological types, and complicated locations, which makes them more difficult to treat compared with liver tumors in adults. This article reviews the imaging diagnosis of liver tumors in children and points out that with the rapid development of imaging medicine, imaging examination provides an important reference for clarifying the location of liver tumors, identifying benign or malignant tumors, and determining tumor stage.
