Arsenic exposure, particularly from Fowler's solution, is linked to hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS). This study identified seven HAS cases with a history of prolonged Fowler's solution use, supporting the arsenic-HAS association.

Area of Science:

Toxicology
Oncology
Epidemiology

Background:

Previous studies suggested a link between arsenic exposure and hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS).
Autopsy series and case reports indicated a potential association.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the association between arsenic exposure and hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS).
To evaluate the role of Fowler's solution in HAS development.

Main Methods:

Nationwide review of deaths from HAS in the United States.
Identification of cases with a history of prolonged Fowler's solution use.

Main Results:

Seven cases of HAS were identified with a history of prolonged Fowler's solution (inorganic potassium arsenite) use.

This finding provides further evidence supporting the association between arsenic exposure and HAS.

Conclusions:

Arsenic exposure, specifically through Fowler's solution, is a significant risk factor for hepatic angiosarcoma.
Further epidemiologic studies are warranted to confirm this association.
