Sumario:Hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is a rare extrahepatic tumor distinguished by having both hepatoid and adenomatous features, which can make the diagnosis challenging.

We also discuss an approach to the diagnosis of HAC using morphological and immunohistochemical features, and explore possible therapeutic options.
