Abstract
Analysis of four cases of hemangiosarcoma of the liver and review of the literature indicate that these tumors are either predominantly cystic and fairly well differentiated or are more solid and poorly differentiated. Well-differentiated hemangiosarcomas may resemble peliosis hepatis or other benign conditions. The tumor was associated disseminated intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis syndrome in one of our cases. One of our patients had received thorium dioxide (Thorotrast) but none seemed to have been exposed to arsenicals or to vinyl chloride.
