Abstract

Hepatic angiosarcoma (HA) accounts for 2% of primary liver tumors. Though rare, it is exceptionally deadly. The initial presentation of HA is nonspecific and no tumor markers have been associated with it. In general, liver function is maintained until later stages of the disease, often leading to diagnosis once the disease is already advanced or metastatic. In this report, we present the case of a 54-year-old male whose vague symptoms and non-diagnostic liver biopsy delayed the diagnosis of a rapidly progressing HA.
