Nonhepatocytic malignant mixed tumor of the liver in adults: report of a long surviving case.
A primary nonhepatocytic malignant mixed tumor in the liver contains both epithelial and mesenchymal components, and the incidence in adults is extremely rare. A 45-year-old female was admitted because of abdominal fullness. Abdominal imaging studies revealed a huge cystic tumor with a mural nodule in the right lobe. A right trisegmentectomy and an invaded partial diaphragm resection were performed. Diagnosis was established after surgery. The patient is still alive 11 years after surgery, and to our knowledge is the longest surviving patient with a primary nonhepatocytic malignant mixed primary tumor of the liver.
