Hepatoblastoma in a middle-aged White South African Woman. A case report.
Hepatoblastoma is a primary embryonic liver tumour usually found in children. It extremely rarely occurs in adults and, when it does, is usually found in men, although it has been postulated that in women it may be associated with use of the oral contraceptive pill. We present a case of a 51-year-old White woman with no history of oral contraception. The features of this tumour are reviewed.
