Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) occurs in extrahepatic organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, testes, ovaries, lungs, mediastinum and pancreas, and frequently produces α-fetoprotein (AFP). HAC of the lung (HAL) is rare, characterized by difficult treatment and poor prognosis. There are no reports of HAL in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, China.
