Park, Park, Kim, Kim, Ko, and Kim: Angiosarcoma of the Liver: A Case Report

Abstract

We report a case of histopathologically confirmed hepatic angiosarcoma. A 29-year old patient was admitted with fever and palpable tender mass in the right upper abdomen. On ultrasonography, a large, well circumscribed mixed echoic mass was seen in the right lobe of the liver. On CT scan, irregular enhancement was seen mainly in the peripheral portion of the mass ; the central portion was not enhanced. The mass showed low signal intensity on T1W1, and high signal intensity on T2WI. Peripheral nodular enhancement was noted on Gd-enhanced MR images; In the peripheral portion of the mass, Tc-RBC scintigraphy revealed persistently increased uptake, and in this same portion, celiac angiography showed displacement of hepatic arteries and irregular vessels.
