Alpha-feto protein negative hepatoid carcinoma of likely primary peritoneal origin: A case report and literature review

Kate Roberts, Jeffrey Goh, Touraj Taheri

Abstract


Hepatoid carcinoma is a rare tumour, most commonly arising from the stomach. It is usually associated with an elevated serum alpha-feto protein (AFP). This article aims to (i) discuss the first published case of an alpha-feto protein negative hepatoid carcinoma most likely arising from the peritoneum, (ii) present a brief literature review on hepatoid carcinomas, (iii) discuss differential diagnoses for the case, and (iv) discuss management options.
