Angiosarcoma of the penis with hepatic angiomas in a patient with low vinyl chloride exposure.
A case of angiosarcoma of the penis associated with two hepatic angiomata in a 61-year-old man is presented. The patient had worked in a polyvinyl chloride factory as an accountant for ten years. The relationship of this low vinyl chloride exposure to the development of the vascular lesions is discussed with a review of the experimental and epidemiologic data on this subject.
