Carcinoma Adenoescamoso primário de fígado

Abstract

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver is a rare type of hepatic tumor first described in 1975. It is characterized by both glandular and squamous compounds. We describe a case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver. It was discovered in a 42-yr-old female with a 2-month history of vomiting, weight loss (7 kg). A left hepatic lobectomy disclosed an 11 x 9 x 7,5 cm tumor located at I, II, III, IV segments. This tumor is rare entity and is a variant of cholangiocarcinoma whose etiology and prognostic are not well known.
