A case is presented of an embryonal sarcoma of the liver in a young child. The differential diagnosis of liver masses in children is reviewed, as well as the implications of diagnostic imaging studies for diagnosis, prognosis, staging, and the choice of treatment. The use of diagnostic imaging for guiding interventional diagnostic procedures and certain palliative approaches is also discussed.
