PATEL, Ranjan K.  e  PATHAK, Swasti. Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma masquerading as liver abscess: A case report with typical imaging features. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v25i1.2179.

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma (UES) is an uncommon paediatric hepatic tumour that clinically simulates a liver abscess when present with fever. This report describes a case of UES in a 12-year-old boy, who presented with abdominal pain, swelling and fever, all simulating a liver abscess. The possibility of UES was considered at imaging, based on the solid appearance on ultrasound and cystic appearance with serpiginous peripheral vessels on computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging. The diagnosis was confirmed at histopathology.

Palavras-chave : undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma; paradoxical appearance; fever; liver abscess; serpiginous vessels; haemorrhage.
