Overview
Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of hepatoblastoma include well defined heterogeneous mass, frequent areas of necrosis and hemorrhage, and chunky dense calcifications.[1]
CT scan
Abdominal CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma. On abdominal CT scan, hepatoblastoma is characterized by:[1]
- Usually seen as a well defined heterogeneous mass, which is usually hypoattenuating compared to surrounding liver.
- Frequently there are with areas of necrosis and hemorrhage. Chunky, dense calcifications may be seen in approximately 40% of cases.
- CT is also able to evaluate the lungs for metastases and for nodal enlargement.
