Abstract

Background: Commonly, pediatric solid tumors occur independently. Only two patients with synchronous hepatoblastoma (HBL) and neuroblastoma (NBL) have been reported. Case reports: Two Chinese infants presented with abdominal mass at 10 and 8 months. Computed tomography (CT) scans in both revealed hepatic masses with additional mediastinal or adrenal masses. Pathology confirmed synchronous HBLs in the liver and NBLs in the mediastinum and adrenal. Next generation sequencing (NGS) found no remarkable germline mutations. Both patients received gross total resections with chemotherapy before or after surgery. They were followed up for 36 and 8 months, and recovered well. Conclusion: These two cases of synchronous HBL and NBL tumors lacked significant genetic alterations.
