Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor most commonly arising from the major and minor salivary glands and less frequently occurring in organs such as the trachea and breast. A 35 year old woman with no history of liver disease was found to have a large mass in the left lobe of her liver. Imaging suggested primary liver cancer such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. She underwent left hepatectomy with removal of suspected peritoneal implants. The final histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed adenoid cystic carcinoma, a tumor that almost never arises in the liver. We describe her presentation, investigations, surgery, and early outcomes and briefly review the diagnostic challenges of this rare entity.
