The first successful treatment and genetic sequencing of primary hepatic adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Adenosarcoma is a rare type of tumor with a mixture of epithelial and stromal components and often occurs in the female reproductive system. Primary hepatic adenosarcoma (PHAS) is extremely rare, with only two cases reported so far. Both patients had poor outcomes. Here, we report the case of a 36-year-old man with pain under the xiphoid process who was diagnosed with a bile duct tumor. He was treated with adjuvant radiotherapy when surgery was performed on him. Pathologically, the tumor contained benign epithelial tissue, and the submucosa of the bile duct in the liver showed infiltrating growth of spindle cell components. The cells were dense, mildly heterotypic, and occasionally mitotic, and the patient was diagnosed with PHAS. Whole-exome sequencing results showed that a total of 12 mu
