  • Title: Sonographic detection of prenatal liver mass.
    Author: Horgan JG, King DL, Taylor KJ.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1984 Jun; 6(3):277-80. PubMed ID: 6725919.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound examination is now performed on about 30% of all pregnancies. Although it is used primarily to estimate gestational age, viability, presentation, and placental site, detailed fetal anatomy is also disclosed. Many abnormalities are now detected prenatally which may not be clinically apparent at birth, and raise new dilemmas of patient management. We describe a large mass documented by ultrasound in the right lobe of liver in a 29-week-old fetus. Subsequent postnatal investigation confirmed the initial ultrasound findings and documented spontaneous regression.
