Highlights a rare presentation of hepatic and splenic epithelioid angiosarcoma with sudden splenic rupture in a young male.

Angiosarcoma is an aggressive malignant endothelial cell tumor of vascular or lymphatic origin,with rapid progression and high mortality.It usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people,mainly in the skin or subcutaneous or mammary gland.The incidence of angiosarcoma is low,and it is difficult to be timely detected.Due to the lack of effective therapy at present,the mortality rate of this disease is high.This paper reports a case of hepatic and splenic epithelioid angiosarcoma in a young male with sudden splenic rupture as the initial symptom,aiming to deepen clinicians' understanding of this condition and improve the relevant diagnosis and treatment.
