We report the case of a child with Abernethy malformation with an anomalous connection between the portal vein and the coronary sinus. After 30 months of close follow-up, the patient developed hepatoblastoma, a previously documented complication of the Abernethy malformation. This case reports a unique variant of Abernethy malformation and documents the first reported case of hepatoblastoma in a patient with type 2 Abernethy malformation.
