ABSTRACT
Hepatoblastoma is the most common malignant tumor in the pediatric age group. It is treated with chemotherapy and surgery with excellent results. In majority of the cases ,the course of treatment is uncomplicated. Rarely there could be unexpected complications like hypertension due to hypersecretion of renin or severe hypoglycemia due to production of insulin like substances by tumor cells. These episodes can complicate the management of the case. We report a rare case of hepatoblastoma in an eight-year-old child who had both the complications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported in literature
