AB  - Liver  tumors  represent  approximately  1%  of  all  childhood  cancers.  There  are  approximately  100  to  150  new  cases  of  liver  cancer  diagnosed  in  children  each  year  in  the  United  States.1  Hepatoblastoma  is  the  most  common  malignant  tumor  of  the  liver  and  accounts  for  two  thirds  of  all  liver  cancer  in  children.2  Hepatoblastoma  occurs  almost  always  in  the  very  young  child,  with  a  mean  age  of  onset  of  approximately  18  to  20  months  and  95%  of  cases  occurring  before  5  years  of  age.  The  incidence  of  hepatoblastoma  has  approximately  doubled  over  the  past  few  decades.3  Hepatoblastoma  is  considered  an  embryonal  tumor  because  histologically,  tumor  cells  resemble  cells  seen  in  the  developing  liver.
