Abstract
While adenoma, haemangioma, hepatocellular carcinoma and metastasis constitute the majority of tumours encountered in the liver, the liver may also be the primary site for a range of more unusual tumours, the diagnosis of which may not be possible without sampling for histology. This review highlights the clinical and morphological features of five such unusual tumours: calcifying nested stromal-epithelial tumour, solitary fibrous tumour, epithelioid haemangioendothelioma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour and PEComa, with particular emphasis on their distinction from the more common tumours of the liver.
