Abstract EN
Undifferentiated embryonal sarcomas (UESs) are uncommon tumours that are seen predominantly in late childhood.
Cases in adults are rare and generally present once a large mass develops and may be mistaken for other tumours.
A case of an UES of the liver with an isolated peritoneal metastasis is described.
The patient presented with a palpable mass with imaging findings suggestive of a cystic tumour.
She had complete surgical resection of the liver mass and isolated peritoneal metastasis.
She was tumour-free on imaging at 6 months without adjuvant chemotherapy.
An UES should be considered in the differential of large cystic hepatic lesions, with aggressive surgical resection considered when possible.
