Core Tip

Core Tip: Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the liver is very rare. Here we report the first case of SCC of the left caudate liver lobe successfully treated by laparoscopic hepatectomy. The patient refused to undergo systemic chemotherapy, and received immunotherapy, and the disease-free survival was 8 mo. However, there is no available literature on the effectiveness of immunotherapy in this disease, and this requires further study.
