Abstract:
Primary hepatic carcinosarcoma which has comprised of a mixture of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements is very rare. This tumor has been variously called as carcinosarcoma, pleomorphic large cell carcinoma, giant cell carcinoma, or undifferentiated carcinoma. Only less than 20 cases of carcinosarcoma of the liver have been reported sporadically up to now worldwide. Herein, we present a case of carcinosarcoma of the liver along with a review of the literatures.
