Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hepatoblastoma is a primary embryonic liver tumor usually found in children. It extremely rarely occurs in adults. We report a case of hepatoblastoma in a 56 year old man with chronic hepatitis B of 10years duration. Laboratory investigation of the patient on admission showed a marked elevation of alpha-fetoprotein in serum. Ultrasonography and Computerized tomography scan revealed a primary tumor, 6x7cm in size, in the right lobe. The tumor removed by a right lobectomy. Complete removal of the tumor is the treatment which is potentially curative provided that lesion is confined within the liver capsule. The literature revealed and a case of this tumor reviewed.
