| Summary: | Introduction Hepatoblastoma is a rare pediatric liver tumor. Advances in imaging/surgical techniques and use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in recent times have resulted in improved survival of children with hepatoblastoma. Yet it has dismal prognosis in some children. Unlike other pediatric malignant tumors, pathological tumor regression grading in hepatoblastoma following NACT is not in routine practice. Assessing tumor-induced maturation and delineating it from non-neoplastic liver at resection margin are often challenging in this setting. |
