    This study reports three cases of hepatic angiosarcoma, a rare liver cancer, with two linked to thorium dioxide exposure. Early detection is challenging, but specific factors may aid diagnosis, leading to rapid disease progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare primary malignant neoplasm of the liver.
    • Thorium dioxide (Thorotrast) exposure is a known risk factor for hepatic angiosarcoma.
    • The tumor's low incidence and nonspecific clinical presentation contribute to diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of hepatic angiosarcoma diagnosed postmortem are presented.
    • Two cases were associated with prior thorium dioxide administration.
    • Clinical manifestations included hemolytic anemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation in some patients.

    Findings:

    • Hepatic angiosarcoma diagnosis is often delayed due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms.
    • Epidemiological data and radiological findings (liver, spleen, lymph node density) can suggest thorium dioxide-associated cases.

  • Standard imaging techniques for liver lesions are crucial for diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of risk factors like thorium dioxide is vital for early detection.
    • Prompt diagnosis, though difficult, is essential for managing this aggressive malignancy.
    • Understanding the clinical and radiological features can improve diagnostic accuracy for hepatic angiosarcoma.
