ABSTRACT

Liver angiosarcoma is a rare disease, accounting for only 2% of primary liver malignancy. No specific symptoms and signs are closely associated with this disease and usually presents as an abdominal mass. The prognosis of liver angiosarcoma is very poor. We report a case with primary liver angiosarcoma presenting with hemorrhagic shock and hemoperitoneum due to tumor rupture.
