Early diagnosis of hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma is difficult because of its asymptomatic features and rarity.

Metastatic carcinomas are the largest group of malignant tumors of the liver. But parenchymal liver metastasis from cystic ovarian adenocarcinoma is very rare. We report a case in which the resection of metastatic liver neoplasm from ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma was done 7 yr after initial treatment. A 48-yr-old oriental housewife complained of easy fatigability and right lower quadrant di...

Primary biliary cystadenocarcinoma mimicking a complicated hydatid cyst.

Cystadenocarcinoma of the liver is a rare neoplasm that originates from hepatobiliary epithelium. Primary location of this tumor is generally intrahepatic and most cases are in the right hepatic lobe. Herein we present a case of intrahepatic cystadenocarcinoma in a 53-year-old man who had been followed up for 8 years as hydatic cyst disease of the liver. He was admitted to our hospital with jau...

A case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma of the liver.

We describe a case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma of the liver, a very rare malignant tumor, in a 40-year-old man referred to our hospital because of sporadic abdominal pain. A left lobectomy of the liver was performed, and macroscopic examination of the resected specimen revealed prominent papillary projections in a multiloculated cystic tumor containing mucinous material. Histologic examinatio...
