Combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CC) is an aggressive hepatic cancer that has characteristics of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC). For resectable disease, liver resection is the preferred first treatment option. As for the advanced or metastatic setting, and due to its rarity, there is still no consensus on which is the optimal systemic treatment. As such, regimens used in both HCC and CC have often been used as first-line treatment options. We report a case of a male patient in his 50s, diagnosed with a cHCC-CC with lymph node and adrenal metastasis, with an extensive portal vein tumour thrombosis, that started treatment with a multikinase inhibitor - lenvatinib.
