Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Hepatoblastoma originating in the caudate lobe (segment 1) is extremely rare. Complete resection of the caudate lobe, without sacrificing other parts of the liver, remains a surgical challenge. We present our experience with laparoscopic complete resection of caudate lobe hepatoblastoma for a 7-years-old girl, with a history of hepatitis B. HIGHLIGHTS Giant hepatoblastoma is located in segment 1 of a 7-year-old child. Complete resection of segment 1 by laparoscopic surgery without using intraoperative endoscopic ultrasonography. During the follow-up postoperative, AFP level has returned to normal with no sign of recurrence.
