Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of vascular or lymphatic endothelial origin that has a poor prognosis. The insidious symptoms, aggressive nature, and rare occurrence of this neoplasm leave a paucity of optimal treatment information. We describe the atypical presentation of an 88-year-old man who was diagnosed and treated for herpes zoster (HZ) in a local emergency department; consultation and biopsy obtained through our dermatology clinic later revealed a diagnosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma (CA).
血管肉瘤是一种罕见的起源于血管或淋巴管内皮的恶性肿瘤,预后较差。这种肿瘤症状隐匿、侵袭性强且发病率低,导致缺乏最佳治疗信息。我们描述了一名88岁男性的非典型表现,他在当地急诊科被诊断为带状疱疹(HZ)并接受了治疗;后来通过我们的皮肤科门诊进行会诊和活检,确诊为皮肤血管肉瘤(CA)。
