Abstract:
We report a case of hepatoblastoma in a 26-year-old man with a background of type 2 diabetes mellitus and untreated hepatitis B, initially presenting with hematemesis and a recent diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma on computed tomography scan from a different hospital and recent referral to hospice. On presentation to our hospital, given atypical presentation for hepatocellular carcinoma, histological examination was made, revealing hepatoblastoma. Treatment included chemotherapy and management of hepatitis B, although complicated by chemotherapy-induced cytopenias and tumor progression, ultimately losing the patient to follow-up after 2 years.
