Hepatic angiosarcoma occurring after cyclophosphamide therapy: case report and review of the literature.

A 54-year-old man with polyarteritis nodosa developed acute onset of right upper quadrant abdominal pain associated with a large liver mass. Transvenous liver biopsy revealed hepatic angiosarcoma, a rare liver tumor classically associated with environmental toxins. He had been treated with oral cyclophosphamide for 13 years. A review of the literature revealed two other cases of hepatic angiosarcoma in patients after long-term cyclophosphamide treatment. We propose that cyclophosphamide be added to the list of exposures potentially associated with hepatic angiosarcoma.
