Abstract
|
|
|
During 11 year period from 1958 to 1969 six cases of primary liver tumor under the age of 16 were encountered.
According to the histologic pattern, 3 of them were diagnosed as hepatocarcinoma, 2 as mixed hepatoblastoma, and 1 as epithelial hepatoblastoma. The three.cases of hepatocarcinoma were all male, with ages of 16, 16, and 13 years respectively. On the other hand, all three cases of hepatoblastoma were under
2 years of age, namely, 1^(1)/_(12), 1^(3)/_(12), and ^(10)/_(12) years, and one of them was female. The clinical and laboratory findings were not characteristic enough to distinguish the two types of tumors except the age distribution. A review of the literature was made, and it was stressed that hepatoblastoma has better prognosis than hepatocarcinoma.
