“…Other risk factors are some familial syndromes (neurofibromatosis, Maffucci syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome), exposure to toxins (vinylchloride, thorium dioxide, arsenic, anabolic steroids) and f oreign substances (accidentally retained surgical gauzes, vascular and orthopaedic prostheses and gouty tophus). A correlation between vascular grafts and aneurysms on the site of the graft has also been suggested in literature (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

Angiosarcoma is a rare type of soft tissue cancer with several clinical presentations and a poor prognosis. We present a case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted due to anemia and fatigue. The patient had undergone an endovascular repair (EVAR) of a 9 cm infrarenal aneurysm of the abdominal aorta two months ago. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen on admission indicated a Type-II endoleak and a large hematoma of the left psoas muscle with multiple sites of intramuscular extravasation. Osseous metastases were found at the head of the left femoral head and at the iliac bones. A CT guided biopsy of the femoral head revealed an angiosarcoma of unknown primary site a few days after the patient had died from intra-alveolar hemorrhage caused by lung metastases.

“…In this case, the diagnosis of an enlarged sinus of Valsalva aneurysm was confirmed by postsurgical pathological examination. Although cases of cardiac tamponade stemming from fistula formation due to neoplastic growth or invasion—and ischemic symptoms caused by arterial stenosis or embolization—have been documented [ 6 , 7 ], early diagnosis remains challenging as most cases remain asymptomatic until substantial encroachment occurs in adjacent normal tissues. More than 50 % of the cases present with metastases during primary tumor diagnosis [ 8 ]; this was also observed in our case, wherein multiple bone metastases were postoperatively identified.…”
