ABSTRACT
Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that may develop in various organs. Hepatocellular carcinoma with sarcomatous changes after anticancer therapy, such as hepatic arterial chemoembolization, has been reported, but primary sarcomatoid carcinoma of the liver is uncommon. Here, we report two cases of primary liver sarcomatoid carcinoma associated with glomerulonephritis in two men (68 and 55 years old, respectively) without any risk factors. Neither man was an alcoholic nor a hepatitis virus carrier, nor did either have a prior medical history of disease. Tumor markers were within normal ranges. In both men, imaging studies revealed a mass in the liver, with metastatic lesions on either the lung or sacrum, respectively. Histopathologic examination of the liver and kidney revealed sarcomatoid carcinoma of the liver and glomerulonephritis.
