Abstract

Undifferentiated sarcoma is one of the rare primary malignant tumor of the liver typically occurring in later childhood. It has also been referred to embryonal sarcoma or malignant mesenchymorna. In Korea, three child and two adult cases have been reported to date in literature. We experienced a case of undifferentiated sarcoma in a 65-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and right upper quadrant mass. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan revealed a well demarcated mass with low attenuation and septation at left lobe of the liver and the mass showed hypovascular pattern on hepatic angiography. On cross section, the tumor was well demarcated from the adjacent liver by a fibrous pseudocapsule and showed cystic degeneration. Pathologically, the tumor was consistent with an undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver. (Korean J Hepatol 1998;4283-289)
