RDMS Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Hypoechoic, hyperechoic, or mixed echogenicity Hydrops may develop from arteriovenous shunting or Kasabach-Merritt sequence (hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and consumptive coagulopathy) Increased flow on color/power Doppler Enlarged draining vein or inferior vena cava Top Differential Diagnoses Hepatoblastoma Mesenchymal hamartoma Pathology 10-50% of fetuses with hemangioendotheliomas have hemangiomata elsewhere Liver, spleen, cutaneous most common Clinical Issues Most common fetal liver tumor Tumors commonly regress and involute after 1st months of life Excellent prognosis for those who present with asymptomatic mass Those with high-output congestive heart failure or consumptive coagulopathy require aggressive treatment Corticosteroids first-line treatment if symptomatic Corticosteroids have also been successfully used in fetuses with rapidly growing masses (Left) Axial T2WI MR at 34 weeks shows a large, welldefined, mildly hyperintense mass within the normal low signal fetal liver (Right) Sagittal oblique ultrasound of the same fetus shows a hyperechoic mass with “cystic” areas within it It is important to use color Doppler to look for flow A clue to the vascular nature of the mass on this grayscale image is the large draining vein (Doppler did confirm flow) The fetus was followed carefully, began to show signs of hydrops at 38 weeks, and was thus delivered 776 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition (Left) Clinical photograph in the same case, immediately after delivery, shows an obvious abdominal bulge from the large liver mass (Right) An ultrasound of the liver was performed on the 1st day of life and showed similar findings to the prenatal scan There is dramatic arteriovenous shunting within the mass, typical of a hemangioendothelioma The infant stabilized and was treated conservatively Hemangioendotheliomas often regress after the 1st months of life and usually not require surgical resection P.7:79 TERMINOLOGY Synonyms Histogenesis of benign vascular liver tumors is not completely clear, which has led to some confusion in terminology Various terms in the literature likely describe same lesion Infantile hemangioendothelioma Infantile cavernous hemangioma Hemangioendothelioma Hemangioma Hepatic arteriovenous malformation Definitions Infantile hemangioendothelioma describes a histologically distinct lesion composed of large, endothelial-lined vascular channels Histologic type most commonly seen in fetuses and neonates Histologically distinct from a hemangioma Both infantile hemangioendothelioma and hemangiomata may occur concurrently IMAGING General Features Best diagnostic clue Heterogeneous, hypervascular liver mass Size Variable Those detected in utero are typically large Morphology Well-defined, solid mass that often has central area of necrosis and fibrosis, especially when large Large vessels may give cystic appearance Multiple lesions much less common Ultrasonographic Findings 777 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Grayscale ultrasound Well-defined mass Variable sonographic appearance Hypoechoic, hyperechoic, or mixed echogenicity Anechoic regions may be seen, related to dilated vascular spaces Hydrops may develop from Arteriovenous shunting, causing high-output failure Kasabach-Merritt sequence Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and consumptive coagulopathy Cardiomegaly Polyhydramnios Color Doppler Vascular masses with significant arteriovenous shunting Increased flow on color/power Doppler Enlarged draining vein or inferior vena cava MR Findings T1WI Low signal intensity relative to normal liver and spleen May see hyperintense areas related to hemorrhage T2WI Typically high in signal Prominent flow void within and around lesion from feeding/draining vessels Heterogeneous signal intensity if hemorrhage present May have areas of low signal related to fibrosis Imaging Recommendations Protocol advice Close interval follow-up to look for growth and hydrops DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Hepatoblastoma Solid, echogenic mass Pseudocapsule around lesion creates well-defined borders Spoke-wheel appearance described with alternating hypo- and hyperechoic areas Moderate vascularity by color Doppler Mesenchymal Hamartoma Predominately cystic or mixed cystic/solid mass Multiple septations give “Swiss cheese” appearance Cysts may be anechoic or filled with echogenic material Color Doppler will show no flow within these cystic areas Metastatic Neuroblastoma Multiple or diffusely infiltrating liver masses Potentially mimic for multifocal hemangioendothelioma Look for solid, suprarenal mass PATHOLOGY General Features Etiology Vascular malformation vs failure of developing tissues to undergo normal cytodifferentiation and maturation Genetics Sporadic Associated abnormalities 10-50% of fetuses with hemangioendotheliomas have hemangiomata elsewhere Liver, spleen, cutaneous most common These are often missed on prenatal imaging Coexistent placental hemangioendotheliomas reported 778 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Microscopic Features Lesion composed of large, endothelial-lined vascular channels As with other vascular malformations, confusion about nomenclature Proliferative phase characterized by hypercellularity and endothelial cell proliferation Involutional phase characterized by dilated vascular spaces (cavernous appearance) P.7:80 CLINICAL ISSUES Presentation Fetal presentation Right upper quadrant mass Hydrops Elevated α-fetoprotein Polyhydramnios Postnatal presentation Palpable mass Abdominal distention Intestinal obstruction Respiratory distress High-output congestive heart failure Kasabach-Merritt syndrome: Consumptive coagulopathy (thrombocytopenia) Jaundice Elevated transaminase levels About half of infants also have cutaneous hemangiomata May prompt abdominal ultrasound to look at liver Demographics Age Fetus Detected as early as 16 weeks Most seen in 3rd trimester Postnatal 85% present by months of age Gender F:M = 2:1 Epidemiology ˜ 5% of fetal tumors occur in liver Most common fetal liver tumor In a series of 194 perinatal liver tumors, 60% were hemangioendotheliomas Natural History & Prognosis Rapid, proliferative growth in 1st months of life Significant vascular shunting may lead to congestive heart failure Tumors commonly regress and involute after months of age Excellent prognosis for those who present with asymptomatic mass Those with high-output congestive heart failure or consumptive coagulopathy require aggressive treatment This usually occurs in very large or multifocal masses Rare reports of malignant sarcoma transformation Treatment May not require treatment if asymptomatic Often spontaneously regress Follow monthly with ultrasound Corticosteroids first line of treatment if symptomatic Thought to cause vasoconstriction of aberrant vessels 779 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Corticosteroids have been successfully used in fetuses with rapidly growing masses Both maternal administration and direct umbilical vein injection have been described α-interferon (anti-angiogenesis) In life-threatening cases Transarterial embolization Surgical resection DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST Image Interpretation Pearls Beware of “cystic” hepatic mass Always use color Doppler to look for flow Differentiates hemangioendothelioma from mesenchymal hamartoma Hemangioendothelioma most likely diagnosis for vascular intrahepatic mass

in the same case 780 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition shows obvious congestive heart failure with cardiac enlargement and soft tissue edema Also note the fullness in the right upper quadrant and displacement of bowel loops caused by the enlarged liver This infant died and went on to autopsy (Left) Cut specimen of the liver from the same case autopsy shows areas of fibrosis and hemorrhage Histology confirmed a hemangioendothelioma (Right) A photograph of the feet in the same case shows a raised hemangioma on the plantar aspect of one foot and other smaller hemangiomas on the heel of the other foot (Left) Axial CECT shows a large, vascular mass occupying the left hepatic lobe The hepatic artery is enlarged , as is often the case with a hemangioendothelioma (Right) Axial T2WI MR shows multiple hyperintense lesions throughout both lobes of the liver Patients with large or multiple hemangioendotheliomas are more likely to present with hydrops in utero or postnatal high-output heart failure than patients with small, solitary tumors 131 Mesenchymal Hamartoma > Table of Contents > Section - Abdominal Wall and Gastrointestinal Tract > Hepatobiliary Abnormalities > Mesenchymal Hamartoma Mesenchymal Hamartoma Paula J Woodward, MD key Facts Terminology 781 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Benign liver tumor composed of large, fluid-filled cysts surrounded by loose mesenchymal tissue containing small bile ducts Imaging Predominately cystic or mixed cystic/solid mass Multiple septations give “Swiss cheese” appearance Polyhydramnios often develops No flow on color Doppler Hydrops is poor prognostic sign Top Differential Diagnoses Mesenteric cyst (lymphangioma) Usually in peritoneal cavity or retroperitoneum but may involve liver capsule or hepatic parenchyma Hemangioendothelioma Increased flow on color Doppler Clinical Issues May show rapid growth Prognosis is related to size and compression of surrounding organs Prenatal cyst drainage considered for large lesions Surgery is curative but not always possible if mass is extensive Those diagnosed in perinatal period have more guarded prognosis than those diagnosed later in childhood Diagnostic Checklist Consider mesenchymal hamartoma for any cystic abdominal mass that is within or abuts liver 20% are exophytic in pediatric series Follow any simple-appearing liver cyst carefully as mesenchymal hamartomas may show rapid growth (Left) Axial ultrasound shows a mixed cystic/solid exophytic liver mass No flow was seen within the cystic spaces with color Doppler The differential consideration was either a mesenchymal hamartoma or a lymphangioma that involved the liver capsule (Right) The resected gross specimen shows the typical large cystic spaces in a background of disorganized mesenchymal tissue, typical features of a mesenchymal hamartoma 782 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition (Left) Axial ultrasound of a newborn who had a cystic abdominal mass noted on a 3rd trimester ultrasound It is subcapsular and involves a large portion of the liver There are multiple septations throughout the mass (Right) Intraoperative photograph in the same case shows the mass bulging under the capsule Mesenchymal hamartomas are benign and surgery is curative but may not be possible if the tumor is extensive Fetal cases often show rapid growth and have a more guarded prognosis than those diagnosed later in childhood P.7:83 TERMINOLOGY Definitions Benign liver tumor composed of large, fluid-filled cysts surrounded by loose mesenchymal tissue IMAGING General Features Best diagnostic clue Multiloculated, cystic liver mass Location (based on pediatric series) Right lobe: 65%; left lobe: 20%; both: 10% Pedunculated up to 20% Ultrasonographic Findings Grayscale ultrasound Predominately cystic or mixed cystic/solid mass Multiple septations give “Swiss cheese” appearance Septations may be either thick or thin Cysts may be anechoic or filled with echogenic material Polyhydramnios often develops Hydrops is a poor prognostic sign Color Doppler No flow on color Doppler Helps to distinguish from hemangioendothelioma MR Findings T2WI Cysts: Hyperintense Stroma: Hypointense DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Mesenteric Cyst (Lymphangioma) Unilocular or multilocular cystic abdominal mass May have a similar appearance 783 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Usually in peritoneal cavity or retroperitoneum but may involve liver capsule or parenchyma Hemangioendothelioma Variable sonographic appearance with overlap in imaging findings on grayscale ultrasound Hypoechoic, hyperechoic, or mixed echogenicity Sonolucencies may be seen within mass Increased flow on color Doppler “Cysts” will show internal flow Flow void described on fetal MR Hepatoblastoma Solid, echogenic masses Pseudocapsule around lesion creates well-defined borders “Spoke-wheel” described with alternating hypo- and hyperechoic areas Moderate vascularity by color Doppler PATHOLOGY General Features Associated abnormalities Has been reported with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome Placental mesenchymal stem villous hyperplasia May see multiple placental cysts Gross Pathologic & Surgical Features Nonencapsulated mass with multiple cysts filled with clear or mucoid material Microscopic Features Variable amounts of myxomatous mesenchyme and malformed bile ducts CLINICAL ISSUES Presentation Most common signs/symptoms Usually presents in 3rd trimester with cystic abdominal mass Has been reported in 2nd trimester as small liver cyst that rapidly grew Other signs/symptoms Preeclampsia Preterm labor Demographics Rare, but comprised 23% of 194 hepatic tumors diagnosed in perinatal period Natural History & Prognosis May show rapid growth Prognosis is related to size and compression of surrounding organs Those diagnosed in perinatal period have more guarded prognosis than those diagnosed later in childhood May have in utero demise 79% survival rate for liveborns who have surgical resection Treatment Prenatal cyst drainage considered for large lesions May need cesarean section if abdominal circumference is enlarged Surgery is curative but not always possible if mass is extensive DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST Consider Mesenchymal hamartoma for any cystic abdominal mass that is within or abuts liver Remember they may be exophytic Image Interpretation Pearls Follow any simple-appearing liver cyst carefully as mesenchymal hamartomas may show rapid growth SELECTED REFERENCES Cornette J et al: Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver: a benign tumor with

Woodward, MD Key Facts Imaging Hepatoblastoma Most common primary malignancy Pseudocapsule around lesion creates well-defined borders Fibrous septae create “spoke-wheel” appearance with alternating hypo- and hyperechoic areas Moderate vascularity by color Doppler 50% have elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein Very poor prognosis if diagnosed in utero Metastatic neuroblastoma Most common primary fetal tumor to metastasize to liver 25% of neuroblastoma cases have liver metastases May be diffusely infiltrating or discrete masses (infiltrating liver metastases may be missed) Poor prognosis when metastatic to liver except for stage 4S (unique grouping of metastases limited to skin, liver, and < 10% of bone marrow) Leukemia Hepatosplenomegaly most common finding Hydrops common 15-20x increased risk in trisomy 21 Transient myeloproliferative disorder may spontaneously resolve Congenital leukemia may rapidly progress with much poorer prognosis than those presenting later in childhood Clinical Issues ˜ 5% of fetal tumors occur in liver and most are benign (hemangioendothelioma, mesenchymal hamartoma) Malignant fetal liver tumors are rare (Left) Axial ultrasound of a hepatoblastoma shows a large, well-defined, solid liver mass A “spokewheel” appearance is used to describe the pattern of alternating echogenicities within the mass (Right) 785 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Autopsy photograph of the liver in the same case shows the welldefined mass with prominent fibrous bands extending to the pseudocapsule, correlating with the ultrasound appearance (Left) Axial CECT in a neonate shows a large heterogeneous mass involving both the right and left lobes of the liver This mass expands the liver capsule and deforms the anterior abdominal wall (Right) Axial T2WI MR in the same patient shows a predominately hyperintense mass replacing most of the normal liver parenchyma Hepatoblastoma has a worse prognosis in fetuses and neonates than in older children Metastases occur earlier and are often systemic P.7:85 TERMINOLOGY Definitions most common malignant fetal liver tumors Hepatoblastoma Malignant embryonic hepatic tumor composed of epithelial cells and occasionally a mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal cells Most common primary malignancy Metastases Typically neuroblastoma All other metastases exceedingly rare Leukemic infiltration Transient myeloproliferative disorder (premalignant condition) Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia Acute myelocytic leukemia Acute lymphocytic leukemia IMAGING General Features Hepatoblastoma Solid, echogenic mass Pseudocapsule around lesion creates well-defined borders Tends to displace rather than invade adjacent structures “Spoke-wheel” appearance described with alternating hypo- and hyperechoic areas Appearance created by fibrous septae Moderate vascularity by color Doppler Calcifications occasionally seen More commonly seen in postnatal cases Can have spontaneous hemorrhage Will appear more heterogeneous in echogenicity 786 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition If very large, organ of origin may be difficult to determine Hydrops and polyhydramnios may be seen Metastatic neuroblastoma Most common primary fetal tumor to metastasize to liver 25% of neuroblastoma cases have liver metastases Look for primary tumor in suprarenal fossa Solid primary tumors are more likely to metastasize than cystic ones Liver is most common site of metastases, but they may be seen anywhere including placenta Liver metastases may be diffusely infiltrating or form discrete lesions Diffusely infiltrating liver metastases may be missed, especially with ultrasound Consider MR for further evaluation Leukemia Hepatosplenomegaly most common finding Hydrops commonly seen May develop from several potential causes Fetal anemia Leukemic infiltration of myocardium Visceral fibrosis with increased vascular resistance Imaging Recommendations Protocol advice Confirm mass is within liver Large renal, adrenal, and retroperitoneal masses may be mistaken for liver mass Careful Doppler analysis Significant vascularity with arteriovenous shunting favors hemangioendothelioma, a benign tumor Some overlap with hepatoblastoma, which has moderate vascularity Follow-up scans Monitor size of tumor Look for development of hydrops Early delivery may be considered if mass is rapidly growing &/or signs of impending cardiovascular compromise DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Benign Liver Tumors Far more common than malignant liver tumors Infantile hemangioendothelioma Variable sonographic appearance Hypoechoic, hyperechoic, or mixed echogenicity Usually hypervascular Increased flow on color Doppler Flow void described on fetal MR Hydrops may develop from Arteriovenous shunting Kasabach-Merritt sequence: Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy Mesenchymal hamartoma Predominately cystic or mixed cystic/solid mass Does not have increased vascularity May develop hydrops Secondary to rapid fluid shifts within expanding cysts Conditions Causing Hepatomegaly Large number of causes Nonimmune hydrops Multitude of causes, including cardiac anomalies, fetal masses, chromosomal anomalies, and placental chorioangiomas 787 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Immune hydrops Rhesus (Rh) alloimmunization Other alloimmune syndromes (Kell, Duffy, C, c, E, and others) Splenomegaly may be prominent feature Infection Cytomegalovirus Toxoplasmosis Parvovirus B19 Gaucher disease Perinatal-lethal subtype Hepatosplenomegaly, hydrops, hypokinesia/arthrogryposis, hydrops, ichthyosis, facial dysmorphism Prenatal testing available Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome Macrosomia, organomegaly, omphalocele Predisposition to embryonal tumors P.7:86 PATHOLOGY General Features Genetics Hepatoblastoma May be familial Short arm chromosome 11 Similar to rhabdomyosarcoma and Wilms tumor Leukemia 15-20x increased risk of leukemia in trisomy 21 Microscopic Features Hepatoblastoma Malignant tumor classified histologically as epithelial or mixed (epithelial + mesenchymal) Leukemia Elevated peripheral leukocyte counts with circulating blasts CLINICAL ISSUES Presentation Most common signs/symptoms Large right upper quadrant mass Hepatomegaly Hydrops Other signs/symptoms 50% of fetuses with hepatoblastoma have elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein Mirror syndrome described in both metastatic neuroblastoma and hepatoblastoma if fetus hydropic Postnatal Palpable abdominal mass Feeding difficulties Demographics Epidemiology ˜ 5% of fetal tumors occur in liver and most are benign (hemangioendothelioma, mesenchymal hamartoma) In series of 194 perinatal primary liver tumors 16.5% were hepatoblastoma Natural History & Prognosis Hepatoblastoma Very poor prognosis if diagnosed in utero 788 Diagnostic Imaging Obstetrics, 2nd Edition Widespread systemic metastases often present in patients presenting in perinatal period Those able to undergo surgery have a 25% survival rate Metastatic neuroblastoma distinct groups Stage 4: Distant metastases including liver Poor prognosis Stage 4S: Unique grouping of metastases with excellent prognosis Metastases limited to skin, liver, and < 10% of bone marrow (not bone) Leukemia Variable spectrum of severity Transient myeloproliferative disorder May spontaneously resolve Strong association with trisomy 21 Congenital leukemia may rapidly progress and be fatal Much poorer prognosis than those presenting later in childhood Treatment If diffuse hepatosplenomegaly, consider cordocentesis Diagnosis of leukemia is based on white blood cell analysis Karyotype of trisomy 21 Pediatric surgery consult prior to delivery to discuss resectability and treatment options Delivery at tertiary care facility Consider cesarean section Intrapartum tumor rupture has been reported DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST Image Interpretation Pearls Hepatoblastomas are well-defined, solid masses, which may exhibit a “spoke-wheel” pattern of echogenicity Metastatic neuroblastoma may cause either focal liver mass or diffuse infiltration Look for suprarenal primary tumor Consider leukemia in setting of diffuse hepatosplenomegaly, especially if fetus has
