Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the liver is extremely rare, very difficult to diagnose, and carries an extremely poor prognosis. In this study, we discuss the imaging features of a patient with primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was admitted to hospital owing to discomfort in the right upper abdominal quadrant and a loss of appetite. He had no previous risk factors associated with hepatic squamous cell carcinoma and no history of systemic squamous cell carcinoma. We diagnosed primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma by pathological analysis. Primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma is rare, and its histological features are controversial, which makes the clinical and imaging diagnosis difficult. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the understanding of this disease in clinical practice to avoid misdiagnosis, and to identify the best treatment. This case provides a basis for the clinical diagnosis of primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma.
原发性肝鳞状细胞癌极为罕见，极难诊断，预后极差。本研究讨论了 1 例原发性肝鳞状细胞癌患者的影像学特征。该患者因右上腹不适和食欲不振而入院。他没有与肝鳞状细胞癌相关的既往风险因素，也没有系统性鳞状细胞癌的病史。我们通过病理分析诊断为原发性肝鳞状细胞癌。原发性肝鳞状细胞癌罕见，其组织学特征存在争议，这使得临床和影像学诊断困难。因此，迫切需要提高对该疾病的认识，避免误诊，并确定最佳治疗方法。本病例为原发性肝鳞状细胞癌的临床诊断提供了依据。
