Key result
A 70-year-old male with 15 years of vinyl chloride monomer exposure developed a rapidly growing giant pseudoglandular hepatocellular carcinoma that was challenging to distinguish from hepatic angiosarcoma.
Case Report (n=1)
Pseudoglandular hepatocellular carcinoma can mimic hepatic hemangioma on imaging, requiring careful evaluation especially in patients with a history of vinyl chloride monomer exposure and rapidly growing tumors.

Ôta et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Pseudoglandular hepatocellular carcinoma (n=1). Vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) exposure was evaluated. A 70-year-old male with 15 years of vinyl chloride monomer exposure developed a rapidly growing giant pseudoglandular hepatocellular carcinoma that was challenging to distinguish from hepatic angiosarcoma.
