Symptoms Analysis of Pediatric Hepatoblastoma

The initial symptoms of pediatric hepatoblastoma are often unobvious, with no jaundice or fever. However, parents may notice a swollen abdomen during bath time. Sometimes, doctors discover a lump in the abdomen during physical exams. Older children may complain of abdominal pain. Hepatoblastoma cells can sometimes produce gonadotropin, which may lead to premature puberty in children. Some children may have pigmented skin spots. Some children experience unconscious abdominal pain. The course of the disease is faster than that of common malignant tumors. Symptoms may include decreased appetite, fatigue, and gradual weight loss. In the late stage, fever, secondary anemia, ascites, and lower limb edema may occur.
