Abstract

A fiveโ€yearโ€old boy with hepatoblastoma, who showed a severe hypoglycemia as an initial symptom, was studied.

A high concentration of insulinโ€like activity (ILA) was found in preoperative serum and in the tumor extract. Hypoglycemia in this patient seemed to depend mainly on ILA and in part on liver enzyme activities related to carbohydrate metabolism.

These cells either occur as single, immunohistochemically detectable elements, or form incomplete and complete ductโ€like profiles in continuation with e
