Abstract
The case of a child with an unresectable hepatic tumor is presented to introduce a new technique of preoperative selective tumor vascular occlusion by injection of isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate on the morning of surgical resection. This technique provides a well demarcated, significantly smaller and relatively avascular field, allowing for a safe and total removal of the hepatic neoplasm.
