• Description:
  In the period June 1973-November 1975, 4 cases of angiosarcoma of the liver (ASL) were diagnosed at the Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield, Wisconsin. One was based on hepatic arteriography and 3 on tissue findings later confirmed by pathologic review at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). An additional 6 cases, confirmed on pathologic review at NCI and identified through a national ASL case surveillance project initiated at CDC in 1974, have been diagnosed since 1964 in Wisconsin residents. This total of 10 cases is roughly twice as large as might be expected (5.5 cases), based on CDC surveillance estimates of crude ASL incidence for the entire United States.
