Primary liver apudoma.
In 1973 a liver tumour was classified as metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown origin and the patient was treated with chemotherapy. A liver resection 10 years later revealed the tumour to be a primary apudoma. Such unusual localisation of apudomas may evidently have a better prognosis than other malignant liver tumours.
