Hepatoid Adenocarcinoma - A Case of a Rare Gastric Malignancy with Metastasis to the Liver
Author(s): Aalam Sohal *, Timothy Wang, Thimmaiah Theethira
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma is a rare type of extrahepatic malignancy. It histologically resembles hepatocytes and can also produce alpha
fetoprotein, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma. The key to diagnosis is specific immunohistochemical stains. Unfortunately, the overall
prognosis is poor and there is no consensus on treatment in cases with metastasis. We present the case of a 67-year-old with chronic epigastric
abdominal pain that was found to have hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach with metastasis to the liver.
