Excerpt

The two commonly seen subtypes of primary liver cancer are hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC). They both have a distinct clinico-pathologic profile. Combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is a far more uncommon tumor with histologic evidence of both hepatocellular and biliary epithelial differentiation [1, 2]. It accounts for about 1.0–14.2 % of all primary liver cancers with incidence varying in different studies [3, 4]. The reported incidence of cHCC-CC ranges from 1.4 to 6.5 % and varies geographically [5]. In 1949, Allen and Lisa first described this entity in detail and morphologically classified into three subtypes [6]. Since then there have been a few case series and single case reports describing this malignancy. Owing to its rarity, the natural history, clinical characteristics and optimal management of cHCC-CC is not well understood. …
