[Hepatoblastoma in an adult].
The authors present the case of hepatoblastoma in a young man. This type of cancer occurs rarely and it is usually diagnosed in children. The diagnosis was based on ultrasonography and computer tomography and first of all on the histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of liver biopsy. The type of cancer was epithelial and fetal. The treatment was based on chemotherapy and liver transplantation in June 2004 and then constant immunosuppression. The patient recovered with no new evidence of the disease.
