[Undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver: a rare tumor of childhood]. / Le sarcome indifférencié du foie: une tumeur rare chez l'enfant.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED Undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver is a rare primary tumor of childhood only about 150 cases have been reported in the literature. CASE-REPORT A 10 year-old girl was admitted because of diarrhea and weight loss. Sonography, then CT-scan and MRI showed a large tumor of the liver. COMMENTS: In the differential diagnosis of primary liver tumors in children, one should think about undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver, especially if imaging shows haemorrhagic foci and if sonography and CT/MRI display a discordant appearance. Survival has improved in the last decade due to agressive surgery and intensive chemotherapy.
