Giant hepatic hemangioma in the fetus: case reports and updated review of the literature.

Fetal hepatic hemangiomas are exceedingly rare vascular tumors; however, they can be associated with several life-threatening conditions. They are usually detected by ultrasound, either incidentally or in the context of nonimmune hydrops secondary to high-output cardiac failure. Our review documents the increasing role of fetal MRI in the prenatal diagnosis and management of these cases. However, the improvement in prenatal diagnostic imaging techniques has not been associated with a better perinatal prognosis in the reported cases.
