A 33-year-old woman sought medical attention for a painful swelling of the left ankle. Plain radiographs revealed an osteolytic lesion involving the left distal tibia. An excisional biopsy provided the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma in the tibia. A staging work-up was performed and an abdominal CT showed 4 liver hypodense lesions in both lobes with peripheral contrast enhancement. A liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver. No association between these two entities has been described before. This case introduces the importance of the pathological confirmation of apparent metastatic lesions in low grade sarcomas and provides a review of the literature of both tumours.
一名33岁女性因左踝疼痛肿胀就医。X线平片显示左胫骨远端有一溶骨性病变。切除活检诊断为胫骨平滑肌肉瘤。进行了分期检查,腹部CT显示两叶肝脏有4个低密度病变,周边有对比增强。肝脏活检确诊为肝脏上皮样血管内皮瘤。此前尚未描述过这两种疾病之间的关联。该病例强调了对低度肉瘤中明显转移病变进行病理确诊的重要性,并对这两种肿瘤的文献进行了综述。
