Fetal tumors: imaging features

Authors: Mark R. Ferguson, Teresa Chapman, Manjiri Dighe

Published in: Pediatric Radiology | Issue 7/2010

Abstract

Although fetal tumors are rare, the prognostic and decision-making implications are substantial. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to highlight the most common tumors encountered during fetal imaging and to discuss the respective typical imaging findings. When appropriate, limited additional information regarding further considerations for patient care will be included.
