Description
Muhammad Izhar and co-authors present a rare case of hepatoblastoma that spread to the brain, treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. Their 2025 paper also searches the literature on this problem.
Hepatoblastoma is the most common liver cancer of young children. Better surgery and chemotherapy have raised survival, but spread to the lungs or brain remains a grave challenge. Brain metastases from this tumor are exceedingly rare, with few reported cases. Radiosurgery delivers a high dose to the target while sparing nearby tissue, which suits such lesions. Their case adds experience on managing a complication where guidance is scarce.
