          Abstract

          El angiosarcoma hepático es una neoplasia poco frecuente cuya incidencia se reporta en el 0,5%-2% de las tumoraciones hepáticas primarias. El diagnóstico es tardío cuando el órgano está comprometido y no es posible la terapéutica quirúrgica; la mayoría es de naturaleza idiopática (75%) y las manifestaciones clínicas y radiológicas son inespecíficas. El diagnóstico es fundamentalmente por estudio histopatológico. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 34 años, sin antecedentes de interés, con un tiempo de evolución de su enfermedad de 4 meses, que se presentó con tumoración hepática, síntomas inespecíficos y alteraciones cardiovasculares que ocasionaron la muerte por taponamiento cardíaco. Se realizó necropsia y el estudio histopatológico mostró angiosarcoma hepático con metástasis cardíaca y pleural

          Translated abstract

          Hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy whose incidence is reported to be from 0.5% to 2% of primary liver tumors. Late diagnosis is defined as diagnosis after the liver has been compromised and surgical therapy is no longer possible. Most hepatic angiosarcomas (75%) are idiopathic, and clinical and radiological findings are nonspecific. Diagnosis is mainly by histopathology. We report the case of a 34-year-old male patient with no history of interest who had had a liver tumor for four months without specific symptoms. Cardiovascular disturbances led to death by cardiac failure. An autopsy and histopathology revealed liver angiosarcoma that had metastasized to the heart and pleural cavity
