Abstract
Primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung (HAL) is a rare type of adenocarcinoma, which can be defined as a primary alpha - fetoprotein - producing lung tumor. Histology of HAL resembles typical hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) when it is metastatic to the lung. Herein, we report a case of a 56 - year - old male who was a lung mass with pathologically diagnosed as primary pulmonary hepatoid adenocarcinoma. No other lesions were found. This case shows the diagnosis of HAL is a challenge, requiring differentiation of metastasis HCC.
