Angiosarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumour and constitutes less than 1% of all soft tissue cancers. Pleural angiosarcomas are extremely rare and have an aggressive course. We report the case of a 79-year-old female patient who presented with complaints of increasing dyspnoea on exertion and homogeneous opacification of the left hemithorax on chest radiograph. Epithelioid angiosarcoma was determined on pleural tissue obtained by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
血管肉瘤是一种罕见的软组织肿瘤,占所有软组织癌的比例不到1%。胸膜血管肉瘤极为罕见,病程凶险。我们报告一例79岁女性患者,她因活动时呼吸困难加重就诊,胸部X线片显示左半胸均匀性致密影。通过电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)获取的胸膜组织病理检查确诊为上皮样血管肉瘤。
