Arch Iran Med. 2023 Dec 1;26(12):709-711. doi: 10.34172/aim.2023.104.

Abstract

Mixed hepatocellular-neuroendocrine carcinoma (HCC-NEC) is a rare entity with a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 44-yearold Tunisian man who was admitted for diffuse abdominal pain. Body computed tomography showed multinodular hepatomegaly. Pathologic findings concluded to HCC-NEC. Clinicians should be aware about this entity. Further collection of case reports is needed to standardize the optimal treatment.
