Abstract

Liver tumors count for approximately 2% of all childhood tumors and almost 70% of them are malignant. Most of them present as palpable abdominal mass. Correct diagnosis considering type, size and localization of the tumor is crucial for the right treatment strategy. Although surgical resection still remains the most important factor for survival, when combined with chemotherapy, the survival rates will raise. Liver transplantation is also considered in some cases of liver tumors.
From 1991 to 2008 we treated 13 children with liver tumors. Our experience together with the review of recent literature is presented here.
