RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Large and rapidly growing abdominal tumors may result in fatal outcomes in newborns. In some cases, a rapidly worsening clinical condition requires surgical decision-making despite the absence of a precise histological diagnosis. In these situations, there is neither a guide nor consensus. CASE: We highlight our experience with five patients with large abdominal tumors and assess the available literature for the best possible management of a rare condition. CONCLUSION: In these cases, laparostomy should be considered as a life-saving procedure. If the liver is involved and coagulopathy is present, prognosis is often compromised.
