Prenatal diagnosis of a giant fetal hepatic hemangioma: a case report

Abstract: We report a case of uncomplicated giant fetal hepatic hemangioma with a good outcome. A 57×38 mm heterogeneous hepatic mass, mostly hypoechogenic was observed post prenatal ultrasound, at 33 weeks’ gestation (WG) and 5 days. Color Doppler confirmed the vascular pattern of the mass. The image size stayed stable, with no associated complications, and a cesarean birth at 37 WG was performed for fetal protection. Subsequent postnatal follow-up showed spontaneous regression of the tumor. Antenatal diagnosis and management of fetal liver masses are discussed in this paper. This case supports the hypothesis that complications of giant fetal hepatic hemangioma are not related only to its size. Prognostic factors and guidelines for follow-up need to be determined.
