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.
