Abstract

The authors present an account of 37 children with primary hepatic tumours at the age of 1 to 16 years. The mortality in the group was 50%. Right-sided lobectomy on account of a hepatoblastoma was performed in 13 children, probatory excision on account of an advanced process in 9, left-sided lobectomy only in five children. The most frequent tumour was a hepatoblastoma in infants, followed by haemangioma and a hepatocellular carcinoma. The authors draw attention to the importance of careful examination of the abdomen by palpation as the first possible diagnostic guide. They emphasize the importance of sonography and arteriography of the hepatic vein in the preoperative examinations.
