Hepatoblastoma is a rare embryonal malignancy of children. Trisomies or gains of chromosomes 1q, 2, 8, and 20 and a der(4)t(1;4)(q12;q34) have been described in hepatoblastoma. Herein, we describe a stage I fetal-type hepatoblastoma associated with a del(3)(q11.2q13.2).

Infantile hepatic hemangioma and hepatoblastoma are the most common benign and malignant tumors of the liver in the neonatal and early childhood periods, respectively. However, the simultaneous occurrence of these 2 tumors in the same liver lesion is very rare. We report a case of a newborn infant diagnosed with a liver mass by ultrasound examination 4 days after birth.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare disease but nevertheless the most common hepatic tumor in the pediatric population. For patients with advanced HB, the prognosis is dismal and there are limited therapeutic options. Multiple microRNAs (miRNAs) were reported to be involved in HB development, but the miRNA-mRNA interaction network in HB remains elusive.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) constitutes less than 1% of all pediatric malignancies and is the most common malignant tumor of liver in children. The fine-needle aspiration cytological (FNAC) diagnosis and sub-typing of this tumor is challenging, which is of critical importance from its treatment point of view. All cases with a clinicoradiological impression of "HB" during the study period of 1 year were subjected to ultrasound-guided (USG) FNAC and cell blocks were prepared in all cases.

We report a rare case of an 18-month-old female with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, Caroli syndrome, and pure fetal type hepatoblastoma. The liver tumor was surgically resected with no chemotherapy given. Now 9 years post resection she demonstrates no local or distant recurrence and stable renal function.

Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary malignant hepatic tumour of infancy and early childhood. Histologically hepatoblastomas are categorized into pure epithelial and mixed epithelial-mesenchymal types and epithelial type is further subcategorized into pure fetal type, fetal and embryonal type, pure embryonal, and small cell types. This categorization has been shown to have prognostic and therapeutic implication.
