Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy found in men and ninth most common in women, out of which 72.5% reported cases are from Asia. In children, it accounts for <2% cases worldwide with even rarer incidence of 1.2% involving intracardial extension. However, it presents with a high mortality rate with mean survival ranging from 1 to 4 months. The present case is an extremely rare case of intracardiac extension of HCC in a 3.5-year-old Asian girl with no history of hepatitis B infection presented at an advanced stage of HCC who succumbed within one month of presentation to the hospital.
