Hepatic neoplasm


  • rare
  • jaundice may be a feature
  • asymptomatic abdominal tumour

Hydronephrosis


  • obstruction at utero-pelvic junction
  • hydronephorosis, palpable kidney, flank mass
  • may have multicystic kidney
  • UTI

Neuroblastoma


  • most frequently diagnosed neoplasm in infants
  • painless mass in neck, chest, abdomen

Skeletal survey

id mets to bone

abdo us

identify mass, determine if solid, cystic or combined. best choice for a first imaging study

abdo XR

abdo CT


  • calcifications, consistency of tumour, imaging of lungs
  • if purely cystic, not needed, which is why US done first
