title: Solid adenosquamous carcinoma of the liver. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: This is a report of a fatal case of a primary and solid adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the liver in a 58-year-old Japanese woman. There was no association with biliary cysts. Histochemistry and immunohistochemistry support the contention that the neoplasm arose from squamous metaplasia of a mucus-secreting adenocarcinoma (MSA) of intrahepatic biliary duct epithelium.
