Case report: First case of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver in a child with neurofibromatosis type 1, treated by hepatic chemoperfusion with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization.

Introduction: In this report we firstly describe undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), fatally complicated by synchronous malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) with a highly aggressive metastatic course. The case also represents our first experience of chemoperfusion involving the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in a pediatric patient, applied as a treatment for UESL.

Case Presentation: A 13-year-old girl was diagnosed with NF1 and presented with a liver tumor identified as UESL by histological assessment.
