Description

Three patients with industrial exposure to PVC are described, who developed angio-sarcomas of the liver; in one patient this was combined with a multi-locular primary hepato-cellular carcinoma. The epidemiology, clinical features and diagnosis are discussed, with particular reference to angiography, sonography and computerized tomography. The non-invasive methods, such as computerized tomography and sonography, are the techniques of choice if an angio-sarcoma is suspected after long exposure to PVC. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wird ueber drei Patienten eines PVC-herstellenden Betriebes berichtet, die an Angiosarkomen der Leber, in einem Fall kombiniert mit einem multilokulaeren primaeren hepatozellulaeren Karzinom, erkrankten. Epidemiologie, Klinik und Diagnostik unter besonderer Beruecksichtigung der angiographischen, sonographischen und computertomographischen Befunde werden diskutiert. Dabei erweisen sich die nicht-invasiven Untersuchungsverfahren Computertomographie und Sonographie als Mittel der Wahl, wenn nach einer VCM-Langzeitexposition ein Angiosarkom der Leber angenommen wird.
