Receiving the news of a "tumor in the baby" while still in the womb naturally evokes fear and insecurity. It's a powerful word, loaded with meaning and often immediately associated with something malignant.

In this article, I want to clearly explain what fetal tumors are, where they usually appear, what risks are involved, and, most importantly, how we can best care for them with responsibility, planning, and hope.
