ABSTRACT
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary tumour of the liver. Cholangiohepatocellular carcinoma (CHC) is less common and is a variant of HCC. There are many similarities with HCC with the exception that CHC tend to be more aggressive. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who was diagnosed with CHC and suddenly deteriorated secondary to hepatic tumour rupture. Despite aggressive supportive care, his condition rapidly deteriorated and died. Autopsy showed ruptured CHC.
