Abstract: This paper reports a case of hepatoblastoma that is inclined to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. The patient, a 6-month-old male, was admitted to Dermatology Department of Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Beijing Children’s Hospital successively, because of a erythema on the neck for 6 months and a mass in the neck for 3 months. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT indicated the possibility of hepatic hemangioma, but further examination of alpha fetoprote and other indicators suggested hepatic malignant tumor. Therefore, surgery was performed to remove the liver mass, and postoperative pathology revealed hepatoblastoma. Postoperative chemotherapy was combined, and follow-up was conducted six months after the end of chemotherapy, with no recurrence of the disease. This article summarized the diagnosis and treatment process of this case and combined with literature review to provide experience for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of relevant cases.
