Abstract:
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of primary adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of liver.Methods The clinical and histopathological data of 2 patients with ASC were analyzed retrospectively.The cases were confirmed by surgery and histopathological examination.Results The tumors were located in the left liver in these 2 patients.Both patients presented with abdominal pain and they underwent surgical resection.On gross pathological examination,the tumors were irregular in shape with unclear boundaries.Microscopically,the tumor cells were arranged in a nesting pattern with a tubular structure,which was an adenosquamous carcinoma structure.One patient survived 4 months after surgery and the other patient died of intrahepatic tumour recurrence 7 months after surgery.Conclusions The diagnosis of primary hepatic ASC relied on histopathological examination.Surgical resection was safe and feasible.
