Spontaneous ruptured primary hepatic angiosarcoma coincident with Schistosoma Japonica liver fibrosis.
OBJECTIVE
We report herein a case of spontaneous ruptured primary hepatic angiosarcoma coincident with Schistosoma Japonica liver fibrosis and review the correlative literature.


METHODS
The resected specimen was examined by histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation.


RESULTS
The final diagnosis was spontaneous ruptured primary hepatic angiosarcoma coincident with Schistosoma Japonica liver fibrosis Conclusion: Considering the nature of primary hepatic angiosarcoma, in particular the ruptured hepatic angiosarcoma, it is obviously desirable to avoid any unnecessary delay or definitive surgical treatment. It is presumed that angiosarcoma in the liver has a possible association with S. japonicum and the deposition of ovae in liver.
