Abdominal Wall Angiosarcoma in a Patient With Drug-Induced Immunosuppression Following Renal Transplantation

Case report of an angiosarcoma of the abdominal wall during liraglutide injections: A coincidence?

“…Angiosarcoma is a very rare but highly aggressive malignant vascular tumor [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] accounting for 1 % to 4 % of all soft tissue sarcomas [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] . Localized angiosarcoma of the abdominal wall is so infrequent that only few anecdotal cases were reported in the literature [3] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] . Identified risk factors include chronic lymphedema, radiation therapy, chronic sun or chemical toxin exposure, foreign bodies, immunosuppression, and familial syndromes including neurofibromatosis (NF-1), BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 mutations and Klippel-Trenaunay syndromes [2] , [5] .…”
