Text Extraction

A 26 year old woman presented with epigastric and right upper quadrant pain as well as hepatomegaly. A computed tomography revealed a 4 x 5 cm mass in the right hepatic lobe. Laboratory data were unremarkable. A needle biopsy of the hepatic mass was interpreted as pleomorphic sarcoma. A right hepatic lobectomy three months later showed a 6 x 5 x 2.8 cm, well demarcated, gray white, firm mass with necrosis of variable extent.
