Real-time identification of hepatoblastoma using a near infrared imaging with indocyanine green

Near infrared imaging with indocyanine green (ICG-NIR) is a novel fluorescent imaging system that can detect tiny primary liver cancer or metastatic liver tumors located on the liver surface. However, there has been no report of the application of the technique for on pediatric liver tumors, such as hepatoblastoma. We herein report the first pediatric case of hepatoblastoma which was detected by ICG-NIR imaging.
