Abstract

To review ultrasound and MRI features of common fetal tumours. During the study period (2016-2018), we discussed 25 cases of most common fetal tumours which were diagnosed prenatally in our tertiary referral centre of prenatal imaging department. Prenatal diagnosis was performed by ultrasonography and/or MRI as a complementary study. We also classified the fetal tumours into the intracranial, face and neck, thorax (containing the heart), abdomen, retro-peritoneum, spine (containing sacrococcygeal region), extremities and genitalia. The mean gestational age for diagnosis was 25.5 ± 4.6 weeks (mean+/-SD). The group included 15 cases of CPAM, 4 cases of teratoma including 3 cases of sacrococcygeal and one case of intracranial teratoma, 4 cases of lymphatic malformation including 2 cases involving the neck, 1 case involving abdomen and 1 case with chest and upper extremity involvement, one case of liver hemangioendothelioma, one case of suprarenal mass proven to be intraabdominal pulmonary sequestration, and one case of epulis of the mouth. We did not include CPAMs and fetal ovarian cysts in this pictoral review. Lymphatic malformations and teratomas are the most common fetal tumours. Within the abdomen the most common tumours were suprarenal and liver masses.
