Key result
Laparoscopic liver resection successfully diagnoses primary hepatic angiosarcoma after failed percutaneous biopsy.
Why the study?
Hepatic angiosarcoma has poor prognosis and is difficult to accurately diagnose by imaging, necessitating alternative diagnostic approaches.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Laparoscopic tumor resection is a viable diagnostic option for suspected hepatic angiosarcoma when imaging and percutaneous biopsy are inconclusive.
May aid diagnosis via laparoscopic resection after nondiagnostic biopsy in suspected hepatic angiosarcoma; leaves open effective therapies.

Kataoka et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Hepatic angiosarcoma (n=1). Laparoscopic liver tumor resection was evaluated. Laparoscopic liver tumor resection was useful for diagnosing primary hepatic angiosarcoma in a 74-year-old man after percutaneous biopsy failed to reveal malignancy.
