There was no significant difference in liver function tests between workers and a control group of men in the same factory, not exposed to vinyl chloride.

متن کاملLiver angiosarcoma and hemangiopericytoma after occupational exposure to vinyl chloride monomer.
Various malignant tumors of the liver, especially liver angiosarcoma, have been described after occupational exposure to vinyl chloride monomer. We present the case records and pathologic findings of two plastic industry workers who had been exposed to high concentrations of vinyl chloride. These workers developed hepatic neoplasms, angiosarcoma, or hemangiopericytoma. We discuss the histogenes...
متن کاملInvasive character of malignant endothelial cells in vinyl-chloride-induced liver angiosarcoma.
Two cases of vinyl-chloride-induced angiosarcoma of the liver were investigated with special reference to the invasive character of malignant endothelial cells. Histological findings of the liver were similar in both cases. The liver angiosarcoma was multicentric and consisted of three portions: a peripheral parenchymal area, an intermediate mottled area, and a central cavernous area. Microscop...
متن کاملA Vinyl Chloride-exposed Worker with an Adrenal Gland Angiosarcoma: A Case Report
Adrenal epithelioidangiosarcoma (AEA) is a rare neoplasm that accounts for less than 1% of sarcomas. Due to its rarity, it can easily be misdiagnosed, both by the clinician and the pathologist. Data on the patient's occupational history was collected and analyzed. The bibliographic data was found on the PUBMED bibliographic search site after entering the word "extrahepaticangiosarcoma". We repo...
