Metastatic lung angiosarcoma from a femoral subperiosteal origin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary malignant vascular bone tumors are unusual and include hemangioendothelioma, epitheloid hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. Although few cases of primary bone angiosarcomas have been reported, those of femoral origin are even more infrequent. Such tumors diagnosis may be challenging due to their radiographic and histologic variety. We present a case of a 24-yearold woman with a subperiosteal diaphyseal angiosarcoma originating from the femoral bone and metastatic to the lung at the time of diagnosis. The clinical, histological and radiological features of this extremely rare lesion are presented. © Versita Sp. z o.o.

Angiosarcoma in the lung.
Angiosarcoma involving the lung is a rare disorder and its clinical features are not well known. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 15 patients seen at our institution from 1950 to 1990 in an attempt to better characterize the spectrum of clinical and radiographic findings of angiosarcoma in the lung. No documented case of primary angiosarcoma of the lung was seen. The diagnosis of metast...
متن کاملA rare cause of hemoptysis
Angiosarcomas are rare, malignant, endothelial-cell tumors of vascular origin that can arise at any body site. They frequently metastasize to the lung, heralded by dyspnea, hemoptysis, chest pain, pneumothoraces, and diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage. However, in most cases lung metastases are discovered after the diagnosis of a primary angiosarcoma has already been established. Very rarely will an ...

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....

The metastatic lung lesions rarely cavitate(1-5), though a angiosarcoma with cavitary metastasis can be complicated by hemopneumothorax(1-5). Metastatic lung lesions showing both cavities and pulmonary hemorrhage on high resolution CT have not, however, been reported. We describe a case of angiosarcoma of the sca...
