Core Tip
Core tip: Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is infrequent in infants, and hepatoblastoma is the most common primary malignant liver tumor in infants. The case reported here was a 36-d-old girl suffering from FNH coexistent with hepatoblastoma. Computed tomography imaging showed an ill-delineated, inhomogeneous enhanced mass with a central star-like scar in the right lobe of the liver. The patient underwent surgical resection of the tumor, and histopathology demonstrated typical FNH coexistent with a focal hepatoblastoma.
