Hepatobiliary rhabdomyosarcoma in children: diagnostic radiology

Pediatr Radiol. 1998 Feb;28(2):101-8. doi: 10.1007/s002470050305.

Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) occurs infrequently in the liver and biliary tree. Although the radiological diagnosis may be simple when the tumour involves the extrahepatic bile ducts, no specific imaging features are known for hepatic RMS. We present four cases and discuss the role of diagnostic radiology in the management of this tumour.
