ABSTRACT
Malignant liver tumours are not unusual in infancy and childhood. Hepatocellular carcinoma is however much less common than hepatoblastoma. Four children with hepatocellular carcinoma, 2 Black and 2 White, have been seen at Baragwanath Hospital and the Johannesburg Hospital in the past 8 years. Three children were under 4 years of age, with no known predisposing cause; 1 child was 11 years old and had a history of tyrosinosis. The radiological investigation of liver tumours is discussed.
