Synchronous double cancers of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.
[cholangiocarcinoma]
We
report
a
case
of
double
primary
liver
cancer
comprising
hepatocellular
carcinoma
(
HCC
)
and
intrahepatic
cholangiocarcinoma
(
ICC
)
.
A
58
-
year
-old
Chinese
man
without
obvious
liver
cirrhosis
was
diagnosed
with
multiple
HCC
in
segment
V
(
SV
)
and
segment
VIII
(
SVIII
)
of
the
liver
.
Preoperative
abdominal
magnetic
resonance
imaging
revealed
two
solid
masses
in
SV
and
SVIII
.
We
performed
hepatic
resection
of
both
segments
.
The
tumors
in
SV
and
SVIII
were
pathologically
diagnosed
as
HCC
and
ICC
,
respectively
.
Immunohistochemically
,
the
HCC
in
SV
was
positive
for
carcinoembryonic
antigen
and
negative
for
α-fetoprotein
(
AFP
)
and
cytokeratin
(
CK
)
,
while
the
ICC
in
SVIII
was
negative
for
both
AFP
and
CK
.
These
observations
confirmed
the
diagnosis
of
double
primary
liver
cancer
(
HCC
and
ICC
)
.
Double
primary
liver
cancer
is
extremely
rare
.
We
herein
review
previous
reports
of
patients
with
a
histological
diagnosis
of
double
primary
liver
cancer
.
Based
on
the
findings
of
this
case
and
the
literature
review
,
we
speculate
that
the
imaging
findings
of
double
primary
hepatic
cancer
conform
to
the
pathologic
findings
.
