Prenatal diagnosis of a giant cavernous hemangioma in association with nonimmune hydrops. A case report.
A fetal external chest mass in association with nonimmune hydrops was visualized by ultrasound. Doppler velocimetry over the mass revealed low-resistance flow through cystic areas. The prenatal diagnosis of a cavernous hemangioma was confirmed after birth. Surgical excision of the mass resulted in a cure.
