  		Figure 1. A 58-year-old female with adenosquamous carcinoma of liver. (a) Intravenous contrast-enhanced CT scan of the upper abdomen demonstrating cystic lesions and heterogeneously enhanced areas in the right lobe of the liver. In other areas of the right lobe, there were multiple lesions with both cystic and solid areas similar to this lesion. (b) Arteriogram from the right hepatic artery (left) and right inferior phrenic artery (right) showed a tumour lesion with enhancement in the right lobe.
