title: [Vinyl chloride-induced angiosarcoma and hepato-cellular carcinoma of the liver (author's transl)].
abstract: Three patients with industrial exposure to PVC are described, who developed angio-sarcomas of the liver; in one patient this was combined with a multi-lobular primary hepato-cellular carcinoma. The epidemiology, clinical features and diagnosis are discussed, with particular reference to angiography, sonography and computerized tomography. The non-invasive methods, such as computerized tomography and sonography, are the techniques of choice if an angiosarcoma is suspected after long exposure to PVC.
