Abstract:
Hepatic angiosarcoma (HA) is a rare primary malignancy of hepatic endothelial and fibroblastic vascular tissue origin. Patients typically present with vague constitutional symptoms of fatigue, weight loss, abdominal pain, and ascites. Hemoperitoneum is a frequent clinical manifestation of HA associated with higher mortality and is underrecognized. Here, we report the case of a patient with HA that was complicated by a peritoneal bleed, its management, and associated poor prognosis.
