Liver Int. 2023 Oct;43(10):2320-2322. doi: 10.1111/liv.15708. Epub 2023 Aug 25.

Abstract

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver is extremely rare. We report a case of adenosquamous carcinoma in the intrahepatic bile duct of a 56-year-old woman who complained of persistent abdominal pain, shivering and hyperthermia. Computed tomography demonstrated a solid-cystic neoplasm in segment 5/6/8 of the liver with a gradual enhancement pattern in the solid area. However, postoperative pathological examination showed adenosquamous carcinoma of intrahepatic bile duct.

Keywords: Adenosquamous carcinoma; computed tomography; intrahepatic duct; liver.
