Hepatoblastoma as a cause of intrauterine fetal death. Case report.
A hepatoblastoma was found in a 36 week stillborn infant. The tumour compressed the inferior vena cava and was the cause of hydrops foetalis. There was also agenesis of the gall bladder. Amniotic fluid alpha-fetoprotein levels at 15 weeks were normal and did not indicate the presence of the tumour.
