摘要
Objective: To present the first case of vinyl chloride related hepatic angiosarcoma in Australia. Clinical features: A 51-year-old male Caucasian former polyvinyl chloride autoclave cleaner in an Australian chemical plant developed hepatic angiosarcoma, presenting 15 years after his last exposure to vinyl chloride monomer. Outcome: He developed encephalopathy and died in oliguric renal failure 21 days after admission to hospital. Conclusion: Hepatic angiosarcoma may develop in other workers similarly exposed.
