Abstract :
Giant cell rich hepatic tumors are divided into two types of
mesenchymal and epithelial. Mesenchymal tumors are uncommon.
Osteoclastoma-like giant cell tumor of the liver is an extremely rare
mesenchymal hepatic tumor with very poor prognosis. To the best of our
knowledge, only 5 cases have been reported in the English literature so
far. Our case was a 64-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain. The
patient was operated with the preoperative imaging diagnosis of
angiosarcoma that after pathologic examination turned out to be
osteoclastoma-like giant cell tumor. Unfortunately, the patient died
shortly after surgery.
