Abstract:
A case of primary squamous carcinoma of the liver is analysed in the light of 21 previously reported cases. Symptoms of abdominal pain, weight loss and intermittent fever were in keeping with those most frequently recorded for the tumour type. Histopathological evaluation suggested metaplastic origin from a cholangiocarcinoma. A squamous carcinoma found in the liver need not reflect metastatic spread and primary tumours can be resected if well localized.
