We describe a 59-year-old Japanese woman with a large mass of her liver encasing cystic components. Radiologic imaging showed the mass to be hypervascular, and surgical resection disclosed a white tumor. The solid portion was immunohistochemically characterized as a smooth muscle tumor. The cystic components were multilocular and lined with columnar epithelium, consistent with a hepatobiliary cystadenoma. The epithelium strongly stained for CA19-9. The subepithelial space was occupied by collagenous connective tissue interspersed with a small number of spindle-shaped cells. The cystic lesions lacked the mesenchymal stroma between the epithelium and connective tissue layer. There have been no previous reports of a hepatic smooth muscle tumor encasing a hepatobiliary cystadenoma. Because of the pathogenesis of the cystadenoma, it is possible to assume that the smooth muscle tumor also arose from the cells composing the biliary duct in association with the development of the cystadenoma.
