Presuming hepatocellular carcinoma, we performed a laparoscopic subsegmentectomy of S6. However, immunohistochemical examination revealed that the tumor was cytokeratin 7- and cytokeratin 19-positive, whereas the Hepatocytes and glypican-3 were negative, with some cells expressing alpha-fetoprotein, leading to a final diagnosis of alpha-fetoprotein-producing intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Six months later, the patient's alpha-fetoprotein level increased again, and computed tomography revealed multiple intrahepatic and lung metastases. Chemotherapy was subsequently initiated.

After six courses of chemotherapy, the lymph nodes showed a partial response, and tumor markers returned to normal levels. However, further chemotherapy was intolerable due to thrombocytopenia. Our cancer board then decided to perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Pathologic examination of the resected specimen showed complete disappearance of the primary tumor, but viable cancer cells were found in the resected lymph nodes.
