Core Tip	Adult digestive system blastomas, including gastroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, and pancreatoblastoma, are rare neoplasms with less than a hundred cases reported for each type. They have nonspecific clinical presentations and imaging findings. Gastroblastoma diagnosis hinges on biphasic histology and the Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 - Glioma-Associated Oncogene Homolog 1 (MALAT1-GLI1) gene fusion. Hepatoblastoma recapitulates the different embryological stages of liver development and can be epithelial or mixed epitheliomesenchymal. Pancreatoblastoma demonstrates multidirectional differentiation and contains squamoid nests. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for these tumors with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy in some cases. Prognoses vary, with gastroblastoma typically having better post-surgical outcomes. In contrast, hepatoblastoma and pancreatoblastoma frequently recur and metastasize.
