Key result
A case of primary hepatic angiosarcoma in an adult male mimicked intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma on conventional and contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary hepatic angiosarcoma can mimic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma on conventional and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, highlighting the need for careful evaluation to avoid missed diagnosis.
PHA mimicking cholangiocarcinoma on ultrasound warrants diagnostic caution; case reports leave open need for histopathology confirmation.
Primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is a rare malignancy with a badly poor prognosis. The extremely low morbidity and untypical clinical manifestations conduce to a missed diagnosis. The present study reported a case of an adult male patient who was pathologically confirmed to be PHA, which mimicked intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma on conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Findings on various imaging examinations were carefully evaluated and the associated literatures were also reviewed.
