Paediatric benign liver tumours are a relatively rare, but important group of conditions. Importantly, the commonest cause of a benign liver tumour is specific to the paediatric population. The list in descending order of frequency is:
- infantile hepatic hemangioma (previously haemangioendothelioma)
- mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver
- focal nodular hyperplasia
- hepatic adenoma
- nodular regenerative hyperplasia
- benign lipomatous tumors (angiomyolipoma and lipoma)2
