An acute progressing hepatic angiosarcoma in a young male diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound-guided liver needle biopsy: a case report
This case emphasizes the significance of pathological findings in the diagnosis of PHA especially in non-high-risk individuals, and the supportive role of CEUS in guiding the liver needle biopsy. Abdominal hemorrhage is one of the serious complications of PHA and transarterial embolization (TAE) should be considered for controlling life-threatening bleeding from ruptured tumor. Further investigation is required to early diagnosis and to improve the prognosis of patients with PHA.
