Abstract

Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary liver tumour in children; however, there are no reported incidences in the single-ventricle congenital heart disease population. We present three cases in patients with single-ventricle heart disease with a mean age at diagnosis of 19.7 (±4) months. The diagnosis was made prior to Fontan completion in all three cases. These represent the only documented hepatoblastoma cases in single-ventricle patients.
