[Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, erythrophagocytosis and consumption coagulopathy in vinyl chloride-induced hemangiosarcoma of the spleen and liver].

A case of angiosarcoma of the liver and the spleen following vinyl chloride exposure is described. The main symptoms in clinical diagnosis were microangiopathic hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hepatosplenomegaly and exposure to vinyl chloride thirty years ago. It is the first case in which liver and spleen are involved in angiosarcoma due to vinyl chloride exposure. The tumor cells showed angioformative and solid histiocytoid growth with erythrophagocytosis.

[Hemangiosarcoma of the liver in workers of the PVC industry and other VC-induced diseases with angiologic-dermatologic, hepatologic, radiologic and neurologic symptoms].

Occupational diseases resulting from exposure to vinyl chloride (VC) include angiosarcoma of the liver and other neoplasms. Among workers exposed to VC we have found capillary abnormalities in the extremities, with scleroderma and Raynaud syndrome, acro-osteolysis, neurological and psychiatric diseases and chromosome abnormalities, as well as abnormal liver metabolism and haematological findings.

[An autopsy case of primary splenic hemangiosarcoma].

A 28-year-old woman was admitted six months before her death because of abdominal pain, anemia and hepatosplenomegaly. Clinical diagnosis by biopsy examination was primary hepatic angiosarcoma. The autopsy revealed about 700 ml of bloody ascites. The spleen weighed 510 g, and was completely replaced by dark grayish-red tumors. The enlarged liver was 6,560 g and revealed multiple tumor nodules. Microscopically, the tumor cells formed irregular vascular spaces. Factor VIII-related antigens were stained in the tumor cells. Zonula adherens was observed also by electron microscopic observation.
