Abstract
The mosaic form of Edwards syndrome affects 5% of all children with Edwards syndrome. The clinical phenotype is highly variable, ranging from the full spectrum of trisomy 18 to the normal phenotype. The purpose of this publication was to present the therapeutic process in an 18-month-old girl with the mosaic form of Edwards syndrome and hepatoblastoma, against the background of other cases of simultaneous occurrence of this syndrome and hepatoblastoma described so far. It appears that this particular group of patients with hepatoblastoma and Edwards syndrome can have good outcomes, provided they do not have life-threatening cardiac or other severe defects. Due to the prematurity of our patient and the defects associated with Edwards syndrome, the child required constant multidisciplinary care, but Edwards syndrome itself was not a reason to discontinue therapy for a malignant neoplasm of the liver. Regular abdominal ultrasound examination, along with AFP testing, may be helpful in the early detection of liver tumors in children with Edwards syndrome.
