Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a seldom reported phenomenon whereby a neoplasm seeds within another histologically distinct tumor, with only 84 cases documented in the literature. We hereby describe the case of a 95-year-old woman who died of widespread metastases identified as a primary hepatic angiosarcoma on autopsy, and the interesting finding of a seeding foci within a dural meningioma. Although meningiomas are the most common intracranial neoplasms to harbor such a phenomenon, this is to our knowledge the first case where an angiosarcoma was identified as the donor tumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
