Imaging Findings of Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma of the Small Bowel: A Case Report

Abstract

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma is a rare extrahepatic tumor defined as having a morphologic and immunohistochemical similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case report, we describe a patient with hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the jejunum with multiple liver metastases that developed in the absence of risk factors. We describe the radiologic findings including those of dynamic computed tomography and small bowel follow-through. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the small bowel have been reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
