Angiosarcoma of the Thigh with Thrombosis in the Femoral Artery

Abstract: We report a case of angiosarcoma with some peculiar clinical features developing on the left thigh of a 63-year-old man. The early primary lesion was erythematous with necrotic areas. The initial biopsy specimen of the lesion indicated a benign angioproliferative process. However, the necrotic area enlarged rapidly, ulcerated with severe pain, and thus was widely excised. The excised specimen had a malignant histologic appearance, particularly in the fascia, and was diagnosed as angiosarcoma. Following local r… Show more

“…It is instructive to explore whether in the general case given by Eq. ( 12), which can be denoted as modified Jacobi ellipsoids following Miyamoto (1967), the same qualitative behaviour can be observed, as in the case of pure Jacobi ellipsoids. Figure 4 illustrates the scenario for a particular case with a given set of geometrical and kinematic parameters.…”

“…8 Thus, clinical symptoms usually relate to the level of aortic lumen obstruction and the presence or absence of thromboembolic metastasis; in addition, preoperative diagnosis is difficult because intimal angiosarcomas present with diverse and nonspecific symptoms, and imaging studies often fail to differentiate among atheroma, mural thrombus, aneurysm, and tumors. [2][3][4]9,10 According to the histologic site of origin, primary malignant tumors of arteries have been classified as mural tumors when they originate from the media or adventitia (these tumors usually present as aneurysms or masses), and luminal tumors originate from the intima, forming a polypoid mass that grows along the lumen of the vessel, presenting as luminal obstructions and/or embolic events. 6 However, published cases of intimal angiosarcoma presenting with aneurysm and/or arterial rupture are very rare (15 cases: 14 involving the aorta and one involving the carotid artery), and preoperative and intraoperative clinical and radiological evidence could not predict a malignant condition.…”

“…1 Among them, exceptionally rare cases of intimal angiosarcoma have been reported to arise from large vessels such as the aorta or common femoral artery (CFA) or superficial femoral artery (SFA), presenting with aortic occlusion or lower extremity arterial stenosis or embolization. [2][3][4][5] Here, we report a patient who initially presented with a CFA aneurysm.…”

“…Vascular tumors may sometimes be related to the pathogenesis of thrombosis in other sites due to endothelial damage, although the mechanisms are not clear (Miyamoto et al, 1992). Multiple hemorrhagic and thrombotic episodes involving vascular tumors can lead to thrombocytopenic and hemorrhagic crises (Herman et al, 2002).…”
