title: Prenatal diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma.
abstract: We report the prenatal diagnosis of a hepatic hemangioma presenting as a heterogeneous mass (6 x 5 cm) of the fetal liver, thickly septated with calcifications. Pulsed Doppler confirmed the vascular pattern of the mass. Subsequent postnatal examinations and follow-up have documented the spontaneous regression of this benign tumor. Antenatal diagnosis of fetal liver masses and management after delivery are discussed.
