Abstract
The authors report a case of a large tumour, located in the right hepatic lateral segments, (size: 15 cm), consisting of a hepatocellular carcinoma (size: 10 cm) and an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (size: 5 cm). The mass was detected by ultrasonography during an examination for abdominal pain in an 80-year-old female. After tumour biopsy and histological examination, hepatic resection was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 6 days after surgery. The rarity of this double cancer is stressed.
