Abstrakt: | Hepatic fibrosarcoma (HF) is a rare sarcoma with a high malignancy and a poor prognosis. Moreover, it is hard to diagnose before completing a pathological examination, for HF has almost no features of clinical or imaging manifestations. Here we report a case of HF in a 42-year-old male who complained of pain in the right upper abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography confirmed a large mass was occupying the right lobe of his liver. The patient was finally diagnosed with HF based on the morphology and immunohistochemistry of the tumor after resection. This case indicates that a diagnosis of HF should be considered, especially when the results of imaging examinations and tumor markers do not support the common hepatic diseases.
