Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the liver, a notably uncommon type of cancer, is frequently linked with diverse hepatic conditions including hepatic cysts, hepatolithiasis, and hepatic teratoma. Literature indicates that only approximately 30 cases of primary SCC of the liver have been documented. Herein, we report a 54-year-old previously healthy patient who was presented with cholangitis symptoms. Examinations revealed normal vitals. However, deranged liver function with transaminitis and hyperbilirubinemia were noticed. A CT scan showed a hepatic mass with bile duct dilation. Biopsy confirmed hepatic squamous cell carcinoma, leading to chemotherapy treatment. Despite treatment, the survival outcomes for this cancer remain limited, and the prognosis is generally unfavorable.
