Diagnostic imaging of angiosarcoma and angiosarcoma metastasis has been described as confusing and challenging. We present a rare case of hepatic soft tissue angiosarcoma metastasis, which was diagnosed by contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The case further exemplifies the ability of CEUS to solve discrepancies between other imaging modalities.

Angiosarcoma arising in the pulmonary artery is extremely rare. We herein report a case of angiosarcoma arising in the pulmonary artery trunk of 71 year-old woman. This case was clinically diagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism but angiosarcoma of the pulmonary artery should be considered as the differential diagnosis of unusual clinical manifestations of pulmonary thromboembolism because of th...

Angiosarcoma is a rare but highly malignant tumor arising from vascular endothelial cells. Angiosarcoma commonly arises from the heart, liver, breast, and skin including the scalp. Angiosarcoma metastasizing to the lungs can present as either pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusions. They can rarely present as rapidly enlarging thin-walled pulmonary cysts. A review of the literature is in...

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy of vascular endothelial origin. We describe a case of angiosarcoma of the hand initially histopathologically diagnosed as a pseudoaneurysm, emphasizing the diagnostic importance of radiological pathologic concordance. Here we highlight the distinctive imaging and the histopathologic features of angiosarcoma, invaluable to its accurate and timely diagnosis.

conclusions we described a rare case of a usually aggressive thyroid angiosarcoma in a patient living in a non-alpine region, with an unusual favorable outcome after the operation and radiotherapy. case presentation an asymptomatic 61-year-old woman presented with a right lobe thyroid nodule with fine needle aspiration cytology indicating “suspicious for malignancy” was reported in our study. h...

Angiosarcoma of the breast is a rare malignancy that may be easily misdiagnosed. Of the two forms, the more common form presents in patients (typically postmenopausal0 with a history of breast cancer, secondary to irradiation or chronic lymphedema. In contrast, the rarer form, primary angiosarcoma, arises sporadically in premenopausal women who present with palpable masses. Primary angiosarcoma...

Hepatic angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor, which accounts for up to 2% of all primary liver tumors. The most frequent symptoms on presentation are weight loss, weakness and abdominal pain. Diagnosis of diffuse hepatic angiosarcoma can be challenging. We report an original case of diffuse liver angiosarcoma revealed by haematological abnormalities initially diagnosed as an Evans sy...

Central nervous system (CNS) angiosarcoma, both primary and secondary, is an exceptionally rare malignant tumor. The behaviour of angiosarcoma is one of rapid progression with early metastatic spread but as with all sarcomas, the primary site may not clinically evident by the time metastases develop. Identification of the primary site of origin is masked by the carpet-like growth pattern that m...

We report a case of a 48-year-old man who developed metastatic angiosarcoma in her left orbit. A 48-year-old man was first sent to us for a check up of proptosis of the left eye. A left orbital tumor was recognized on orbital computed tomography scans. The open biopsy showed angiosarcoma. Chest X-ray films and thoracic computed tomography showed an abnormal mass in the left inferior lung field....

A 29-year-old pregnant woman with recurrent pericardial effusion and a cardiac tumor, diagnosed as an angiosarcoma, was treated with surgical resection of the tumor followed by radiotherapy. Immediately after completion of radiotherapy, she developed bilateral breast masses, which were also confirmed as angiosarcomas. We thought this might be the first case of bilateral angiosarcoma of the brea...
