Abstract
- Hepatoblastoma is a rare pediatric malignancy which frequently presents at an advanced unresectable stage. Complete surgical resection after chemotherapy is the definitive treatment for hepatoblastoma. Liver transplantation should be considered for children who have unresectable hepatoblastoma. We report a case of a 18-month-old boy with unresectable hepatoblastoma who had transplantation with pre- and post-operative chemotherapy.
