This is a report of a fatal case of a primary and solid adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the liver in a 58‐yearold Japanese woman. There was no association with biliary cysts. Histochemistry and immunohistochemistry support the contention that the neoplasm arose from squamous metaplasia of a mucus‐secreting adenocarcinoma (MSA) of intrahepatic biliary duct epithelium.
