In August 2020, a control Computed Tomography Scan revealed tumor volume growth occupying the right liver along with segment IV and segment I with the obstruction of intrahepatic inferior vena cava (Figure 1A). Histopathological examination presented a well-circumcised tan-white tumor of a maximum size of 26 cm and another 6 mm infracapsular tumor (Figures 1B,C). These nests were composed of short fascicles of bland looking spindle cells and inside the desmoplastic stroma neocholangioli were observed (Figure 1D). A characteristic feature of this tumor is the nuclear and cytoplasmic immunohistochemical reaction with beta-katenin (Figure 1E), which corresponds with previously reported histopathological characteristics of CNSET. Multiple diagnostic imaging carried out throughout the year showed no signs of recurrence (Figure 1F).
