Surveillance imaging detects hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas in individuals with Fontan circulation
Surveillance imaging in this cohort of children and adults with Fontan circulation identified hepatocellular neoplasms in patients as young as 15 years old. MRI detected most lesions, AFP was often normal in HCC, and substantial imaging overlap between HCAs and HCCs reinforces the need for multidisciplinary review to guide diagnosis and management.
