Name for "3D quadrilateral" shape?

$\begingroup$

I am interested to know the name of the following solid construction - kind of a deformed cube... but I don't know the name, or even a general name:

1. Left and right faces parallel with the $yz$ axes
2. Bottom face parallel with the $xz$ axes
3. Back face parallel with the $xy$ axes.
4. Front and top faces not necessarily parallel,

assuming $x=(1, 0, 0),y=(0,1,0),z=(0,0,1)$. If there is no such name, then is "3d quadrilateral" correct ?
