Abstract
A 3-year-old boy underwent a successful combined resection of a hepato blastoma and its intracaval right atrial extension using a cardiopulmo nary bypass. This type of extension is extremely rare in hepatoblastom a. The cardiopulmonary bypass enabled complete resection of the intrac ardiac mass of the hepatoblastoma. In addition, dissection and ligatio n of the right hepatic vein under cardiopulmonary bypass made the foll owing right hepatectomy easy and safe.
