Abstract
A case of primary carcinoid tumor of the liver associated with hepatocellular carcinoma is reported. A 75-year-old male was treated for hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. He died of hepatic failure. The autopsy revealed a carcinoid tumor of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma (Edmondson type II). The carcinoid tumor was positive for immunostaining with chromogranin and NSE, and neuroendocrine secretory granules were seen at the ultrastructural level. Neither tumor showed any mixed areas nor was primary carcinoid tumor found elsewhere. Primary carcinoid of the liver is very rare, and this case is the first report, to our knowledge, of primary carcinoid tumor of the liver associated with hepatocellular carcinoma.
