Abdominal ecosonogram: hepatoesplenomegaly LOE hepatics lobe left. Gastroscopy and normal colonoscopy. Abdominal magnetic resonance: evidence of hepatomegaly associated to the presence of injury of tumor like appearance in left hepatic lobe, with heterogeneous enhancement. The evolution was not the one of a hepatic abscess and the ecosonografic image is of solid behavior, reason why laparoscopic is asked for surgery diagnoses. The possibility of percutanea taking guided by echo in view of high bled possibility discards off. Left hepatectomy practices, biopsy: It reports Hepatic Leiomiosarcoma . After surgery the patient evolves satisfactorily. CONCLUSION: In spite of its infrequency, hepatic sarcomas must be taken into in account in the differential diagnosis from with solid hepatic tumors in adults, in cirrhosis absence.
