    Abstract:
    A case of angiosarcoma of the liver and the spleen following vinyl chloride exposure is described. The main symptoms in clinical diagnosis were microangiopathic hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hepatosplenomegaly and exposure to vinyl chloride thirty years ago. It is the first case in which liver and spleen are involved in angiosarcoma due to vinyl chloride exposure. The tumor cells showed angioformative and solid histiocytoid growth with erythrophagocytosis.
