title: Calcifying nested stroma-epithelial tumor of the liver: a case report and review of literature.
abstract: Calcifying nested stromal-epithelial tumor (CNSET) of the liver is extremely rare. This tumor is characterized by nests of epithelial and spindle cells, an associated desmoplastic stroma, as well as variable calcifications and ossifications. Only 24 cases have been reported in the literature whereas none has been reported in Asian descendants. The authors report the first case of CNSET in a 34-year-old Asian woman and provide detailed histological and clinical follow-up data. Compared with those reported earlier, the present case with a history of oral contraceptive use displayed most typical features and the oldest age of onset. A retrospective study was made and the characteristics of CNSET were summarized.
