A seven-year-old male patient presented to Tikur Anbessa Hospital with right upper quadrant pain of nine months and right upper quadrant swelling of six months duration. He was having loss of appetite and significant weight loss. Physical examination revealed an enlarged liver. He was worked up with laboratory and radiologic investigations. Ultrasound (US) was done and findings were suggestive of the diagnosis and Computed Tomography (CT) scan was done, and was also diagnostic and confirmed by the final histological diagnosis. We present and discuss a case with an uncommon hepatic neoplasm occurring at unusual age.
