Primary Angiosarcoma of the skin of the foot is very rare. Angiosarcoma is typically treated with resection and wide-field postoperative radiation therapy. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have also been used. Regardless of the treatment, the risk of local and distant relapse remains high for this disease. We present a case of an elderly patient who developed cutaneous angiosarcoma of the foo...

Angiosarcoma is a rare and deadly malignancy originating from the vascular endothelial cells. Surgery is the most effective method to cure this disease, but for metastatic angiosarcoma, a chemotherapy-based treatment is the main therapeutic choice. However, there is currently no standard chemotherapy regimen. The current study reports the case of a 66-year-old male with post-operative scalp ang...

Angiosarcomas of the scalp are aggressive invasive tumors that, more often than not, mimic benign painless skin lesions. We here report a case of angiosarcoma that was timely diagnosed and treated thanks to the dermoscopic rainbow pattern.

Abstract Background Cardiac angiosarcoma is an exceptionally rare primary malignant tumour with aggressive course and typically poor prognosis. Diagnosis difficult, patients often present metastatic disease. We report the case of a patient cardiac who presents constrictive physiology due to encasement. Case summary A 65-year-old female past medical history Hodgkin’s lymphoma limited scleroderma...

BACKGROUND Primary breast angiosarcoma is defined as malignant proliferation showing endothelial differentiation. It is a very rare tumour (0.05% of primary mammary cancers), whose diagnosis can be difficult. CASE PRESENTATION We report the observation of a patient with no previous history, aged 27 years. The clinical examination finds a right breast discreetly increased in volume. The trucut...

Angiosarcoma is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant mammary lesions. The prognosis is usually poor due to high rates of local recurrence and early development of metastases. We report a 40 year old woman with a highly vascular mass on radiology, she presented with bony metastases at presentation. Core biopsy of the breast mass performed twice showed only haemorrhage and necrosis....

A ngiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive vascular malignancy with a poor prognosis. Primary cutaneous angiosarcoma arises de novo on the head and neck of the elderly, whereas secondary angiosarcoma arises in the setting of known risk factors, including chronic lymphedema or previous irradiation. When associated with chronic lymphedema, it is eponymously referred to as StewarteTreves syndrome. The pa...

INTRODUCTION Thyroid angiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm, which usually shows local aggressive behavior and associated with a high recurrence rate. It was originally described in the Alpine region and extremely rare in other parts of the world. CASE PRESENTATION An asymptomatic 61-year-old woman presented with a right lobe thyroid nodule with fine needle aspiration cytology indicating "suspi...

We report a case of angiosarcoma of the heart, manifested as a continuous murmur. Right coronary arteriography disclosed a paracardiac mass with fistulas from the coronary vessel to the right atrium. Histologic study revealed this to be an angiosarcoma with sinusoidal pattern. To our knowledge, this is the first case of this kind of cardiac tumor presenting as a fistula from a coronary artery t...

Secondary angiosarcoma is an aggressive tumor that can develop in breast cancer patients treated with conserving therapy and radiotherapy. The symptoms can be misleading, whereas mammography and fine-needle aspiration (FNA) are typically negative in early stage of the disease. A high grade of clinical suspicion is very important for early diagnosis. A case of angiosarcoma involving breast paren...
