Hepatic Angiosarcoma, an unusual presentation.
Downloads
Clinical case of a hepatic angiosarcoma is presented in a 40-year-old female patient with
a history of thrombocytopenia. Imaging studies guided the initial diagnosis, which was
subsequently confirmed by biopsy.
Primary hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor, with a higher incidence in elderly
men. Its etiology remains uncertain, although possible risk factors have been identified,
including exposure to environmental toxins. The clinical presentation is often nonspecific,which hinders early detection; therefore, definitive diagnosis requires histopathological
examination.
Therapeutic management may include chemoembolization, surgical resection, or liver
transplantation; however, the prognosis remains guarded due to the aggressive nature of
this neoplasm.
