Overview
Hepatoblastoma is a common tumor that tends to affect children aged less than five years.[1] Males are more commonly affected with hepatoblastoma than females.[2] The annual incidence of hepatoblastoma in the United States appears to have doubled from 8 (1975-1983) to 16 (2002-2009) per 100,000 children aged 19 years and younger.[3]
Epidemiology and demographics
Prevalence
Hepatic tumors represent approximately 0.5-2% of all the tumors in children and are responsible for 1-4% of all the solid tumors.[4]
Incidence
The annual incidence of hepatoblastoma in the United States appears to have doubled from 8 (1975-1983) to 16 (2002-2009) per 100,000 children aged 19 years and younger.[3]
Age
Hepatoblastoma commonly affects children aged less than five years.[1] Approximately 90% of the cases occur in patients under 5 years of age and two-thirds of the cases occur in the first 2 years of life. Hepatoblastoma in adolescents and young adults is extremely rare.[4]
Gender
Males are more commonly affected with hepatoblastoma than females.[2]
