Abstract:
Primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is a rare disease with high malignancy. Due to the low incidence, atypical clinical symptoms and signs, it is often misdiagnosed, which results in missing timely treatment, and subsequently influencing the therapeutic effect and prognosis. A case of hepatic angiosarcoma with acute abdominal pain as the first symptom was reported in First Hospital affiliated to Jilin University in Match, 2017. Computed Tomography (CT) examination for this patient was misdiagnosed as a ruptured hemangioma of the liver, and emergency interventional embolization for hemostasis was performed. Blood routine was monitored several times after the operation, which indicated active bleeding. We performed laparotomy and excised the tumor, which was pathologically confirmed as hepatic angiosarcoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that tumor cells expressed CD31 and CD34. After the operation, the family members gave up treatment due to economic limitations and other reasons, and the patient died on the second day after discharge.
