A 15-year-old woman who was studied because an abdominal mass at the Instituto Nacional de la Nutricion Salvador Zubiran (INNSZ) is reported. The history revealed only malaise and mild abdominal pain. At physical exploration, an abdominal mass in the upper right quadrant was found. Liver function tests were normal. Abdominal ultrasound and computerized tomography revealed a large cystic mass of the right hepatic lobe. She underwent exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperative frozen sections of the biopsies demonstrated undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver, and an extended right trisegmentectomy was performed. Postoperative outcome was uneventful. Adjuvant treatment with doxorubicin and dacarbazine was given, and at six months of follow-up, the patient is alive without any evidence of recurrence. Clinical and histopathologic features of this rare malignant tumor are discussed, as well as the therapeutic choices.

D008637 Mesenchymoma A mixed mesenchymal tumor composed of two or more mesodermal cellular elements not commonly associated, not counting fibrous tissue as one of the elements. Mesenchymomas are widely distributed in the body and about 75% are malignant. (Dorland, 27th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1866) Mesenchymomas
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.
