Primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) of the uterus is a particular tumour that bears high similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma histologically, and may easily be misdiagnosed because it is rare if you don' t remember it. In this report, we describe two cases of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing HAC of the uterus. Case 1 was a 69-year-old postmenopausal woman who was presented to the hospital for a medical examination.

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be classified into distinct histological subtypes based on the WHO nomenclature. The aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of conventional PDAC (cPDAC) against the other histological variants at the population level.
Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients with microscopically confirmed PDAC.

Primary hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung (HAL) is an exceptionally rare subtype of lung cancer that mimics the morphology and biological behavior of hepatocellular carcinoma. Although reports in the literature are limited, HAL is known for its high malignancy and poor prognosis, thus drawing increasing attention. We present the case of a patient with a mass-like consolidation with central necrosis initially misdiagnosed as inflammation at another medical institution despite a percutaneous lung biopsy.

α-Fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric carcinoma (AFPGC) is a rare subtype of gastric cancer (GC) with controversial classification methods. Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is another rare subtype of GC. Its definition intersects with that of AFPGC, but it is much rarer.
