Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW
This review outlines the current approaches to prenatal imaging, differential diagnosis, antenatal natural history, and the available treatment options for the most commonly prenatally diagnosed malignant tumors.
RECENT FINDINGS
In-utero diagnosis of fetal tumors, although still a rare event, has become more common as prenatal imaging modalities have improved. In general, this prenatal diagnosis allows more informed prenatal counseling and better perinatal planning for potentially high-risk deliveries. There are rare indications for prenatal fetal intervention.
SUMMARY
Diagnosis of a fetal tumor should prompt referral to a specialized center. Further understanding of these rare patients will require multicenter collaboration.
