Case reports of large and symptomatic abdominal tumors in newborns: Pitfalls, difficulties in management, and surgical decision making

BACKGROUND: Large and rapidly growing abdominal tumors may result in fatal outcomes in newborns. In some cases, a rapidly worsening clinical condition requires surgical decision‐making despite the absence of a precise histological diagnosis. In these situations, there is neither a guide nor consensu...

description BACKGROUND: Large and rapidly growing abdominal tumors may result in fatal outcomes in newborns. In some cases, a rapidly worsening clinical condition requires surgical decision‐making despite the absence of a precise histological diagnosis. In these situations, there is neither a guide nor consensus. CASE: We highlight our experience with five patients with large abdominal tumors and assess the available literature for the best possible management of a rare condition. CONCLUSION: In these cases, laparostomy should be considered as a life‐saving procedure. If the liver is involved and coagulopathy is present, prognosis is often compromised.
