Abstract
The case reported is of a 13-month-old baby boy with hepatoblastoma which became resectable after chemotherapy but surgery had to be postponed. Alphafetoprotein increased and transarterial chemoembolisation was safely performed, followed by resection. He remains in remission 40 months later. Chemoembolisation is a feasible procedure even in very young patients with hepatoblastoma.
