Description
Summary:	In a 48-year-old man, using imaging methods, the presence was shown of a tumour in the right hepatic lobe. The serum AFP and DCP concentrations--the serological markers of hepatocellular cancer--were significantly increased, however, the histological examination of liver biopsy specimen demonstrated the structure of a cancer originating from the bile canaliculi. The material for study obtained during laparotomy and autopsy made possible the demonstration of the structure typical of both cholangiocellular carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma in separate foci. The mixed form of hepatocholangiocellular carcinoma is extremely rare and difficult for diagnosis which induced us to report own case.
