Core Tip

Core Tip: The proportion of the patients with primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is low, and infiltrating PHA is extremely rarer. The kind of the patients with infiltrating PHA are highly prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, which leads to the poor prognosis. The contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) pattern of the patient in this case report is different from that of previously reported PHA patients. We analyzed the lesions by dynamic CEUS (DCE-US), and their manifestation mimicked the imaging pattern of hepatocellular carcinoma known as "quick wash-in and quick wash-out". DCE-US may be helpful for the diagnosis of infiltrating PHA.
