Reperto ecografico di massa epatica nei primi anni di vita.

On the basis of personal experience of echographic finding of liver mass in the early years of life, the origin is recalled and symptomatology with ultrasounds outlined: 1) they may be occasional findings without corresponding clinical signs (cystic dysplasic forms); 2) they may be metastases of known tumours (neuroblastoma); 3) they may be primary neoplasias (haemangiomas); 4) they may be signs of a state of immunodeficiency (abscess foci). It is stated that the data supplied by echography are often aspecific or permit diagnosis only if integrated with elements provided by other techniques and/or by clinical and biohumoral data.
