Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma is a rare primary hepatic tumour, showing both hepatocellular as well as biliary epithelium differentiation. Its diagnosis is often delayed, as it occurs in young patients without comorbidities and with non-specific symptoms. Most cases are confused with other types of cancer, especially fibrolamellar liver cancer, which is more frequent and has similar clinical and radiological features.
