Hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS) can mimic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), complicating diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of considering malignancy in patients with unexplained liver changes and risk factors for SOS.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS) is a rare liver cancer often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms and overlapping imaging with benign tumors.
- Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a liver microcirculation disorder typically linked to chemotherapy or stem cell transplants.
- The clinical and imaging similarities between HAS and SOS can significantly hinder accurate diagnosis.

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
