Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary hepatic malignant tumor in children. Adult hepatoblastoma is rare and the prognosis

is poor. There are only case reports available for this diagnosis. We report a rare case of 26-year old man suffering from unresectable

hepatoblastoma successfully treated by chemotherapy, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and other interventional –

radiological techique for 11 years.
