Hepatitis B virus is a known carcinogen for hepatocellular carcinoma, which is rare in the pediatric population. We report a 13-year-old patient with hepatitis B surface antigen-positive multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma in a noncirrhotic liver. Her APRI score was 0.24. Her BCLC stage was C, and her caregiver opted for palliative care.
