    Abstract:
    Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with obstructive jaundice by direct invasion or migration of tumor tissue into the biliary system has been described as icterogenic hepatocellular carcinoma (IHCC) or icteric type hepatoma. Fifty-eight such cases have been reported in literature since 1947. Curative treatment and prognosis depend directly on early appearance of icterus and its correct interpretation. Recently, attention has been paid to polygonal cell carcinoma with fibrous stroma (PCFS) as a well differentiated, low grade and transient type of HCC, probably distinguishable from classic HCC by etiological and epidemiological features. The combination of IHCC and PCFS is very rare; to our knowledge only one such case has been reported yet. We had the opportunity to observe and treat such a case, which will be reported in this article and will be compared with cases described in the literature.
