Undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver (USL) is a rare malignant tumor most commonly seen in children aged 6 to 10 years. Previously believed to carry a poor prognosis, more recent reports indicate that treatment regimens combining surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy can yield long-term, disease-free survival. In this report, we review five pediatric patients with USL treated with a uniform approach of resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation when indicated. All five patients are disease-free in their first remission at a median of 53 months.
