Combined hepatocellular carcinoma - cholangiocarcinoma harboring a metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma

J Gastrointestin Liver Dis. 2013 Sep;22(3):341-3.

Abstract

Combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) represents a rare form of primary hepatic neoplasia. We report an unusual case of tumor-to-tumor metastasis: a cHCC-CC harboring a metastasis of colon adenocarcinoma developed in a 59 year old patient with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of such a simultaneous occurrence.
