Background:

Biliary tract cystadenocarcinoma is a rare liver malignancy.
Accurate diagnosis poses challenges for imaging modalities like ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Observation:

A 68-year-old male presented with jaundice due to a tumor in the 4th hepatic segment.
The patient was diagnosed with a co-occurring prostatic malignancy 16 months post-discharge.
Post-operative follow-up at 42 months showed no evidence of secondary lesions.

Findings:

Surgical intervention was required for the hepatic segment tumor.
Definitive diagnosis was achieved intraoperatively.
The patient remained disease-free from the liver tumor 42 months after treatment.

Implications:

Extensive hepatic resection is the recommended surgical approach to minimize the risk of tumor relapse.
Improved diagnostic strategies are needed for early and accurate identification of biliary tract cystadenocarcinoma.
This case underscores the importance of vigilant follow-up for patients with rare liver tumors.
