Solid Liver Lesions in an Infant With Neonatal Cholestasis: Is it Always Malignant?

J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2017 Nov;39(8):626-628. doi: 10.1097/MPH.0000000000000936.

Abstract

In this report we describe a patient with neonatal cholestasis who was found to have a liver lesion with suspicious imaging features, although ultimately it was histologically proved to be a pseudotumor. We discuss the characteristic features and imaging findings of macroregenerative nodules of the liver.
