Biphenotypic Immunohistochemical Features and NTRK1 Amplification in Intermediate Cell Carcinoma of the Liver

Intermediate cell carcinoma is one of the rarest forms of primary liver cancer comprising relatively monomorphic populations of neoplastic epithelial cells demonstrating simultaneous positivity of both hepatocyte and cholangiocyte immunohistochemical markers. Here in, we describe an adult male patient who underwent left hepatectomy for a large liver tumor. The pathological and immunohistochemical analysis revealed the malignant primary liver cancer with intermediate cell morphology and mixed immunophenotypic features consistent with intermediate cell carcinoma. Furthermore, the genomic profiling using the Next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform demonstrated that there is a novel amplification with copy number gain 12 (12 gene copies) in the Neurotrophic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase 1 (NTRK1) gene, being an oncogenic driver of intermediate cell carcinoma. This is the first case report with the amplification in NTRK1 and emphasizes the importance of molecular oncology.
