Abstract:
Hepatoid carcinoma is a rare type of malignant tumor resembling hepatocellular carcinoma that arises in extrahepatic sites. A case of a combined hepatoid and serous papillary carcinoma of the ovary in a 72-year-old woman is reported. The hepatoid component showed alpha-fetoprotein production. Imperceptible merging of the hepatoid and serous papillary components was seen, supporting the theory of a surface epithelial origin of ovarian hepatoid carcinoma.
