Management of Incidental Liver Lesions in Children: Considerations and a Suggested Approach

Purpose or Case Report: Management of incidentally discovered pediatric liver lesions can be challenging. As compared with adults, no formal guidelines exist on this subject. Our purpose is to suggest an approach to the management of incidental pediatric liver lesions based on review of the literature and our institutional multidisciplinary experience.

Outline:
- Main considerations when evaluating incidental liver lesions in children (including age, alpha fetoprotein level, lesion size, imaging characteristics differentiating benign and malignant tumors, role of contrast-enhanced US, role of hepatobiliary contrast MRI)
- Suggested approach to the management of incidental liver lesions detected by US, CT, and MRI
- Examples of common incidental liver lesions (cyst, hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatocellular adenoma, focal fatty infiltration and sparing)
