Case Report: The value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography in the diagnosis of hepatic angiosarcoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enhanced imaging techniques have the overwhelming advantages of being noninvasive and sensitive enough to evaluate the microcirculation of lesions, thus making them accurate in the diagnosis of hepatic lesions. Unfortunately, there is very little research on and knowledge of the imaging features of a rare cancerous condition: hepatic angiosarcoma (HA).

Case summary

In this study, we retrospectively collected the data of six patients who underwent both contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), and subsequently obtained a definitive histopathologic diagnosis of HA. We described the imaging appearances of HA by comparing CEUS and CECT images. Furthermore, we analyzed these imaging characteristics from the perspective of his
