Liver Angiosarcoma - A Rare But Deadly Disease

Liver angiosarcoma is a rare type of vascular tumor that strikes only a few hundred people in the United States each year. Because angiosarcoma begins as a growth in the blood vessels, it is particularly dangerous. Tumors can grow quickly and spread widely. The chemical vinyl chloride, used in the production of PVC pipe, is a known cause of liver angiosarcoma.
