Abstract
- Primary hepatic leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm, with fewer than 60 previously reported cases. Apatient was admitted with pain and palpable mass in the right upper abdomen. An ultrasonogram showed a largecystic mass with irregular thick wall in the right lobe of the liver. On a CT scan, the mass showed irregular enhancement along its wall, but central portion was not enhanced. A celiac angiogram revealed a large hypervascular mass with abundant abnormal vascularities in its peripheral portion. Right hepatectomy was undertaken, and histologic examination, revealed hepatic leiomyosarcoma.
