ABSTRACT
Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary malignant liver tumor encountered during childhood. Complete surgical resection is the most important factor in predicting which children would achieve cure. Some chemotherapy regimens are effective in reducing tumor size, often rendering initially unresectable lesions amenable to complete surgical resection, and dramatically improving disease-free survival. Liver transplantation provides an additional treatment option for patients whose tumor remains unresectable even after preoperative chemotherapy. We report a case of unresectable hepatoblastoma in a child who underwent living related liver transplantation with pre and post-operative chemotherapy.
