Undifferentiated Embryonal sarcoma of liver (UESL) is a rare and unique entity of liver which primarily affects children and adolescents. Delayed

diagnosis is very common due to lack of clinical characteristics, laboratory markers and radiological findings. We report a case of an 11–year–old

boy presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, mass in upper abdomen, non–projectile vomiting and 2 kg weight loss in three weeks,

diagnosed to have UESL. Extended right hepatectomy was performed followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The prognosis of UESL was not good

in past but recent evidences revealed that long term survival is possible if complete resection is done, followed by postoperative chemotherapy.
