Abstract

Prenatal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and matching postnatal computer tomography imaging findings are presented in a neonate with histologically proven congenital hepatoblastoma. Familiarity with the prenatal imaging findings of a hepatoblastoma are essential to make a reliable, specific diagnosis facilitating decision-making about the pre-, peri- and postnatal management.
