| Abstract |
|
Malignant mesenchymoma of the liver is extremely rare in childhood. It is formed by 2 or more
unrelated mesenchymal tissues, chacterized by rapid growth and poor responsiveness to all modes of
therapy. We experienced a case of malignant mesenchymoma of the liver in a 11-year-old boy who was
admitted because of abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea and vomiting. Radiographic examinations
showed a space occupying lesion in the right lobe of the liver. Histologicaly the sarcomatous cells
were stellate or spindle shaped and had ill-defined outlines. They were usually closely packed and
arranged in whorls and sheets. The sharply defined globules varying in size were noticed in the
cytoplasm of some larger tumor cells. Cystic structres resembling bile ducts were frequently identified
with the tumor cells at the periphery of the liver.
The review of literatures was made briefly.
