Primary angiosarcomas of the adrenal gland are exceptionally rare vascular tumors. We report a case of a 63-year-old man with an epithelioid angiosarcoma of the left adrenal gland. Visualized on computed tomography as a nonhomogeneous round mass, the tumor measured 3 cm in diameter. Histology showed a vascular tumor composed of epithelioid cells with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli that lined irregular vascular spaces and also formed solid areas and showed pleomorphism and rare mitotic activity. Immunohistochemical stain confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid angiosarcoma. We report our findings and review previously described literature cases of this rare entity.
肾上腺原发性血管肉瘤是极为罕见的血管性肿瘤。我们报告一例63岁男性左肾上腺上皮样血管肉瘤病例。计算机断层扫描显示为一个直径3厘米的不均匀圆形肿块。组织学检查显示为一种血管性肿瘤,由具有泡状核和明显核仁的上皮样细胞组成,这些细胞排列在不规则的血管间隙中,还形成实性区域,表现出多形性和罕见的有丝分裂活性。免疫组化染色确诊为上皮样血管肉瘤。我们报告我们的发现并回顾此前描述的该罕见实体的文献病例。
