A 54‐year‐old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of the typical trabecular pattern exhibiting unusual histologic features, both osteoid and bone formations, is reported. The tumor was associated with well‐developed cirrhosis; thus, this may be different from mixed hepatic tumors of adults with bone formations because the latter are characterized by their prevalence in noncirrhotic livers and by the formation of myxoid connective tissue. Computed tomography of the current case revealed calcification within HCC.
