GOIKOETXEA URDIAIN, A. et al. Adult hepatoblastoma: a case report. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.2, pp.301-304. ISSN 1137-6627.

Adult hepatoblastoma is a rare pathology. Its pathogeny is not well understood and prognosis is very bad. We present a case of adult hepatoblastoma treated in our centre. A 65 year-old male, without previous hepatopathy, who consulted due to right hypochondrial pain with a subacute evolution. The pathological diagnosis was adult epithelial hepatoblastoma, with free surgical margins. The patient received a second surgical intervention 5 months later due to early recurrence and died 10 months after the diagnosis due to a new massive recurrence. His definitive diagnosis is histological. Radical surgery is the only treatment that increases survival, but recurrence is frequent. There are no well-defined patterns of adjuvant chemotherapy nor is there any transplant experience.
