Primary mixed hepatocellular carcinoma with carcinoid characteristics. A case report.

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma is a well known liver condition. Carcinoids are tumors arising mostly in the intestinal tract and/or in the lungs, and giving rise to a certain syndrome. They metastisize to other organs, especially the liver (1). Primary hepatocellular carcinoma with carcinoid features is an extremely rare tumor and only one such case has been reported so far (2). In this report we describe the case of a tumor of the liver with features both of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and carcinoid.
