A rare case of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver in an elderly patient misdiagnosed as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
UESL should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical liver masses, even in elderly patients. Early surgical resection offers the best chance for survival, though outcomes remain dismal in advanced age due to rapid recurrence and metastasis. Heightened awareness of this entity is crucial to mitigate diagnostic delays.
