[Visceral arteriography of hepatic, pancreatic and intraperitoneal tumours during childhood (author's transl)].

The value of visceral arteriography is discussed in relation to four hepatoblastomas, two vascular hamartomas of the liver, one inactive islet cell tumour of the pancreas and two malignant intraperitoneal tumours. Although non-invasive methods, such as computer tomography, sonography and scintigraphy are valuable, angiography is an important part of the pre-operative diagnosis of visceral tumours during childhood.
