An Infiltrative Case of Angiosarcoma Causing Portal Hypertension.
Hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive liver tumor. We report a case study of an 82-year-old elderly gentleman who presented with failure to thrive and ascites. Initially suspected to be cirrhosis, biopsy results eventually concluded angiosarcoma of the liver. Our patient presented with an infiltrative form, rather than distinct masses, which led to portal hypertension and ascites. The variance in symptomatology and radiology presentations make a diagnosis of hepatic angiosarcoma challenging and require a high index of suspicion.
