Abstract

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.
