Overview
Pathophysiology
Genetics
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of hepatoblastoma include:[1]
Pathogenesis
Hepatoblastoma usually develops in the right hepatic lobe. The left hepatic lobe receives oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein, while the right lobe receives oxygenated blood from the portal vein, with lower oxygen saturation. The lower oxygen saturation could favour the embryonic differentiation of the hepatoblastoma in certain conditions, this explaining the more frequent localization in the right hepatic lobe.[2]
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, well circumscribed large masses, usually single, with heterogeneous cut surface are findings of hepatoblastoma.[3]
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, hepatoblastoma is characterized by:[4]
- Small round cell tumor
- Fetal hepatocytes ~ 1:3 NC ratio, eosinophilic cytoplasm
- +/- Mesenchymal component
- Immature fibrous tissue, osteoid or cartilage

Immunohistochemistry
Hepatoblastoma is demonstrated by positivity to:[4]
- Alpha fetoprotein
- Hepatocyte specific antigen (especially in fetal component)
- Beta-catenin (cytoplasmic and nuclear)
