Abstract
We report the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with a hepatic mass a nd macronodular cirrhosis. The pathologic findings revealed a lymphoepithel ioma-like carcinoma arising in the hepatobiliary tract that was morphologic ally identical to nasopharyngeal undifferentiated carcinoma. However, this tumor was not associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection in molecular stu dies. Macronodular cirrhosis associated with hepatitis C virus was present in the background liver.
