title: [Hepatoblastoma in adults (author's transl)].
abstract: During autopsy a hepatoblastoma was found in a 73-year-old woman. The tumor contained fetal hepatocytes as an epithelial component and spindle-shaped cells resembling fibroblast as well as focal osteoid tissue representing mesenchymal components. Hepatoblastoma are predominantly found in children and are very rare in adults. Hepatoblastoma probably arise from multipotent blastema which can develop into epithelial and mesenchymal tissue.
