Abstract

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a common primary pediatric liver tumor, and its typical presentation is a palpable, nontender abdominal mass that is detected through sonographic imaging. The current treatment standard for HB includes chemotherapy followed by liver resection or transplantation. Throughout the management of HB, high-quality sonographic images inform diagnosis, treatment interventions, and detection of surgical treatment complications. It is important that sonographers be familiar with the presentation and complications of HB on imaging examinations. The authors review sonographic detection, evaluation of HB at presentation, and common complications after liver resection and transplantation.
