ABSTRACT

The list of conditions associated with nonimmune hydrops fetalis has been steadily increasing. We describe a liveborn neonate with fetal hepatoblastoma presenting as nonimmune hydrops. The hepatic tumor was diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound. The infant survived for 2 days. The pathophysiology of nonimmune hydrops in this case is also described.
