Fetal Type Hepatoblastoma in an 11-Year-Old Boy; A Case Report.

Aims This study sought to present a case report of a rare form of primary liver tumor known as fetal type Childhood hepatoblastoma, which belongs to the category of embryonal liver tumors. Patient & Methods This case report describes an eleven-year-old boy who experienced pain in the upper right quadrant of his abdomen after being hit by a bicycle handle during a fall while riding a bicycle. Subsequent imaging of the abdomen revealed the incidental diagnosis of a hepatoblastoma tumor. Prior to this incident, the patient was clinically asymptomatic. Findings Imaging examinations revealed the presence of a solid mass measuring 91 × 86 × 84 mm that originated in the right lobe of the liver. This mass exerted pressure on the renal cortex. Pathology analysis indicated that the mass was of the pure fetal epithelial subtype. Conclusion It is possible for older children to develop hepatoblastoma of the pure fetal epithelial type.
