Primary liver carcinosarcoma is extremely rare. We report a case of liver carcinosarcoma in a 58-year-old man, which was identified by pathologic and immunohistochemical (IHC) examinations. Plain CT scans showed a hypodense mass in the right liver lobe adjacent to the gallbladder fossa. The triple-phase contrast CT scans showed a mixed density mass with inhomogeneous enhancement. Multiple cystic nodules with irregular rim enhancement of the margin located in the tumor. The gallbladder wall and transverse colon were involved. CT presentations of liver carcinosarcoma were unspecific and the pre-operative diagnosis is difficult.
原发性肝肉瘤样癌极为罕见。我们报告一例58岁男性的肝肉瘤样癌病例,该病例经病理及免疫组织化学(IHC)检查确诊。CT平扫显示右肝叶胆囊窝旁有一低密度肿块。CT三期增强扫描显示为密度不均匀的混杂密度肿块,强化不均匀。肿瘤内见多个边缘呈不规则环状强化的囊性结节。胆囊壁及横结肠受累。肝肉瘤样癌的CT表现无特异性,术前诊断困难。
