Pediatric benign liver tumors are a relatively rare, but important group of conditions. Importantly, the commonest cause of a benign liver tumor is specific to the pediatric population. The list in descending order of frequency is:
- infantile hepatic hemangioma (previously hemangioendothelioma)
- mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver
- focal nodular hyperplasia
- hepatic adenoma
- nodular regenerative hyperplasia
- benign lipomatous tumors (angiomyolipoma and lipoma) 2
- benign biliary tumors (biliary cystadenoma, bile duct hamartoma, adenoma, and papillary adenoma) 3
- congenital hepatic cyst 4
