Abstract

Hepatic tumors are infrequently encountered during childhood. Either benign or malign, the treatment of a hepatic tumor is specific to individual patient, and may vary widely from simple observation to liver transplantation. The referral of patients with those tumors to the experienced centers will improve the success of treatment.
