Popis: A hepatoblastoma in a 6-month-old child was initially considered unresectable because of diffuse liver involvement. The patient received 4 courses of cisplatin with an interval time of 2 weeks. A computed tomography scan after 4 courses of chemotherapy showed shrinking of the tumor, which made it resectable, and the tumor was removed by central hepatectomy. The patient was able to eat a regular diet on the fourth day and was sent home on the seventh day, after the operation. The pediatric oncologist followed the patient with liver ultrasonography and alpha-fetoprotein and administered 2 more cycles of cisplatin.
