Kubota et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Hepatic angiosarcoma (n=1). Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and hemostatic drainage was evaluated on Survival. A 75-year-old man with hepatic angiosarcoma presenting as a pancreatic tumor experienced rapid tumor rupture and died of hepatic failure 22 days after admission despite emergency interventions.
