ABSTRACT
Soft tissue hepatic tumors are a rare disease, the most common being hepatoblastoma and liver carcinoma. Other tumors of this group include embryonic undifferentiated sarcoma, angiosarcoma, among others. These tumors have an incidence of 2-3 / 100,000 new cases per year. Corresponding to 1% of all malignant tumors and 2% of cancer mortality. They originate from the mesenchymal .tissues of limbs (40%, predominantly in the lower), dorso (15-20%), head and neck (10%) and retroperitoneum; visceral sarcomas are less frequent (uterus, liver). This article reports a case of a pediatric patient with undifferentiated embryonic sarcoma of a liver mesenchymal hamartoma.REFERENCES
