Disseminated Skeletal Angiomatosis Initially Misdiagnosed As Metastatic Tumor: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disseminated angiomatosis, also referred to as cystic angiomatosis, is a generalized disease that involves bones and soft tissue. It is characterized by multifocal hemangiomatous lesions of the bones with possible visceral organ involvement. The clinical manifestations differ according to the site and the extension of disorder. Here we describe a case of generalized angiomatosis occurring in a 35-yr-old Iranian woman, initially misdiagnosed as osseous metastasis, who presented at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital, Yazd, Iran in February 2014. Although the clinical, radiological and pathological features are diagnostic, the process is often mistaken with other lytic lesions of the bones, especially malignant tumors. The case is being reported owing to its scarcity as per the literature published globally.
