Hepatoblastoma is the most common form of primary liver cancer in children, although it is a comparatively uncommon pediatric solid tumor. It is the third most common abdominal neoplasm in this age group after neuroblastoma and nephroblastoma. The primary treatment is surgical resection. The prognosis for patients with resectable tumors is fairly good in combination with chemotherapy.
