Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma containing the cells of hepatocellular cancer and bile duct cancer
2018
Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is a rare (< 1%) primary liver cancer which contains elements of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) and bile duct cancer (CC). On account of the difficulties in reaching preoperative diagnosis, it is frequently diagnosed only after resection is performed. A surgical resection of the liver is the treatment of choice, whilst a liver transplant is a rarely implemented option. The prognosis of cHCC-CC tumours is better than in CC but worse than in HCC. This paper presents the case report of a 62-year-old man undergoing a left hemihepatectomy for a cHCC-CC liver tumour.
