Abstract

Background: Liver parenchyma that resides outside of the normal hepatic confines is defined as accessory liver if in communication with the native biliary tree, or ectopic liver (EL) if it is not. EL can develop in a variety of tissues, including but not limited to the gallbladder, the hepatic ligaments, the pancreas, and retroperitoneum. EL has an increased propensity for malignant degeneration resulting in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Presentation: A 67-year-old Korean male presented with epigastric discomfort and was found to have an elevation in his transaminases. Cross-sectional imaging demonstrated a 1.3 cm solid mass in the body of the pancreas with features concerning for either a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Subsequent endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration demonstrated cells of epithelial origin with hepatocellular differentiation. A robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy was performed with final pathology demonstrating a well-differentiated HCC. Conclusions: EL with malignant degeneration resulting in HCC requires surgical excision. The majority of patients reported with EL resulting in HCC in the pancreas have had the tumors located in the body and...Continue Reading
