A Case of Dual-pathology Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and Cholangiolocellular Carcinoma (CoCC) after Eradication of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Infection

A 75-year-old Japanese man visited our hospital for further examination of liver tumors. He had a history of successful hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication and therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at another hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed two tumors in the liver. He underwent anterior inferior (S5) and posterior inferior (S6) subsegmentectomy of the liver. Microscopic examination found that one tumor was HCC while the other was cholangiolocellular carcinoma (CoCC). We experienced a rare case of liver cancer with two synchronous pathologies, HCC and CoCC.
