[Hepatic angiosarcoma developed 5 years following treatment for subacute glomerulonephritis].

A patient with hepatic angiosarcoma is described. This tumour, thought rare, still generates clinical interest, because of its characteristic association with occupational exposure to certain chemicals such as vinyl chloride and thorotrast. That association has led to extensive screening of high risk populations. An additional case of liver angiosarcoma which probably developed following long-term treatment with cyclophosphamide. The significant aspects of this tumour are delineated and the diagnostic modalities are discussed.
