description | Primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is a rare and aggressive mesenchymal liver tumor with a poor prognosis and high mortality. Treatment options are limited to palliative chemotherapy with surgical resection reserved for the few cases that present early. We present a case of a patient who presented with jaundice and elevated liver enzymes. Imaging identified a diffusely heterogeneous liver consistent with cirrhosis, findings of portal hypertension, and 2 ill-defined liver lesions. Biopsy results confirmed PHA. Primary hepatic angiosarcoma does not have a typical presentation but should be considered for any patient presenting with an infiltrative liver mass. |
