Abstract
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common malignant tumor of the salivary glands, but rare in other sites. Only 10 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of liver have been reported, and there was 1 case of double primary cancer of hepatocellular carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The definite diagnosis and pathogenesis are still controversial. However, hepatocellular carcinoma is the second most common cancer in Korea. Its etiology is better known compared to mucoepidermoid carcinoma. We report a rare case of double primary cancer of mucoepidermoid carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma in liver.
