    Author: Pialat J, Pasquier B, Pahn M, Kopp N.
    Journal: Sem Hop; ; 56(25-28):1188-202. PubMed ID: 6256869.
    Abstract:
    Six hepatic angiosarcomas, one hepatoma and one hepatic "fibrosis" with portal hypertension in patients chronically exposed to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) are reported. The industrial methods of synthesis and current knowledge concerning the carcinogenic role of VCM are reviewed. Histogenetic and pathogenetic concepts of "fibrosis" and angiosarcomas of liver are exposed.
