Abdominal mass in a toddler is a common condition encountered in clinical practice. The nature of abdominal mass in toddlers can be a developmental cyst or benign and malignant tumours from various intraabdominal organs. Round blue cell tumours arising from the kidney, adrenals, pancreas, and liver in toddlers present as abdominal masses and are potentially fatal even with systematic treatment. Hepatoblastoma, a small round blue cell tumour of childhood, is a rare hepatic tumour. We report a case of hepatoblastoma in a toddler in view of its diagnostic challenge.
