Metastatic Cutaneous Angiosarcoma: A Rare Entity
We present a case of a 56-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of four months of dyspnea that had acutely worsened. The patient also reported a chronic right thigh wound. Chest radiograph on initial presentation demonstrated multiple bilateral rounded opacities. CT pulmonary angiogram de...

description | We present a case of a 56-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of four months of dyspnea that had acutely worsened. The patient also reported a chronic right thigh wound. Chest radiograph on initial presentation demonstrated multiple bilateral rounded opacities. CT pulmonary angiogram demonstrated multiple bilateral rounded nodules seen on chest radiograph along with a right upper lobe pulmonary artery with near-complete compression secondary to large right hilar adenopathy. CT of right lower extremity showed evidence of ulceration with multiple conglomerate subcutaneous masses, predominately anteriorly and laterally. She underwent a bronchoscopy; a fine-needle aspiration of the subcarinal lymph node was taken. A surgical biopsy from the right thigh wound was also performed. A histological examination from the right thigh ulcer and subcarinal lymph node demonstrated high-grade spindle cell neoplasm, positive for CD-31 and consistent with angiosarcoma. |
