Multifocal Hepatic Angiosarcoma with Atypical Presentation: Case Report and Literature Review

Pediatric Hepatic Angiosarcoma (PHAS) and Vinyl Chloride-A Ghost of the Past May Loom over East Palestine, OH, and beyond: A Critical Commentary

Road accidents are not infrequent everywhere in the world, but when they involve poisonous and dangerous chemical compounds, they represent a hazard and an issue for public health. In this commentary, we briefly review a recent East Palestine event and one of the chemicals primarily involved with a predisposition to initiate a carcinogenetic process. The author reviewed, as a consultant, numerous chemical compounds for the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a trusted agency of the World Health Organization. Something is looming over the territories of East Palestine, Ohio, United States, draining water from the soil. We speculate that there is a dark and opprobrious fate for this area of the United States due to the potential increase in cases of pediatric hepatic angiosarcoma, which will also be revised in this commentary.

A Case of Hepatic Angiosarcoma with Peliosis Hepatis

A 59-year-old woman presented to our hospital with liver dysfunction. Imaging revealed multiple lesions in the liver. The patient was diagnosed with peliosis hepatis using percutaneous and laparoscopic biopsies. However, her condition worsened with the appearance of new, obvious mass-forming lesions. Therefore, she underwent a second percutaneous biopsy of these lesions and was diagnosed with hepatic angiosarcoma. Her condition progressed rapidly, and she died two weeks after the diagnosis. Diagnosis of hepatic angiosarcoma in the early stages is difficult. It should be noted that hepatic angiosarcoma may be associated with the development of peliosis hepatis.

Pediatric vascular tumors of the liver: Review from the pathologist’s point of view

Differential diagnosis of pediatric vascular liver tumors can be challenging due to inconsistent nomenclature, histologic overlap and the rarity of some entities. Here we give an up-to-date overview of the most important entities. We discuss the clinic, histology and pathophysiology of hepatic congenital and infantile heman gioma, hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and hepatic angiosarcoma.
