[Childhood liver tumor in Hungary: two interesting clinical cases]
Hepatic tumors account for 0.5-2% of all childhood tumors in Hungary, based of the data last ten years. More than half of the cases were histologically malignant. The worldwide incidence of malignant hepatic tumors is 1.6 / 1 million. Here we present two patients with hepatoblastoma. In the first case the size of the initially inoperable tumor diminished following the chemotherapy and total surgical resection became possible. No sign of relapse occurred so far. The second case included a congenital hepatic tumor which was remarkable because of its unusual clinical presentation and histology.
