Glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is a rare X-linked condition where glycerol cannot be phosphorylated to glycerol-3-phosphate, a key component of gluconeogenesis. Clinical presentation varies widely. We present a novel variant of the responsible GK in a patient with concurrent hepatoblastoma, whose course was complicated by hypoglycemia. Hepatoblastoma has not previously been described with GKD, highlighting the need for further research into GKD and its potential role in the pathogenesis of some forms of hepatoblastoma.
