Abstract

Very few reports exist in the literature regarding a possible association between trisomy 18 patients and the incidence of hepatoblastoma. Fewer reports exist on patients with multifocal hepatoblastoma. We reviewed our institutional database for the past 10 years and found three cases with this possible association to the tumor.
