ABSTRACT

Primary liver sarcomas are very rare. They account for only 1% of the liver tumors. They often occur in children around 5-10 years old. The natural history of this neoplasm is not well established, because these kind of tumors are very rare, so as the prognosis and the optimal treatment. We present a case of an eleven year old girl with a liver sarcoma with tumoral thrombosis in right atrium; right extra hepatic vein and inferior vena cava.
