Atypical vascular lesions (AVL) and angiosarcomas (AS) are lesions known to arise after radiation therapy. These lesions can show overlap in both their gross and histologic pictures, and distinction between the two can be extremely challenging at times. They are known most commonly to arise in the breast region after radiation therapy. We present the first unique case of post-radiation AVL/AS arising in the larynx of a 51 year old woman, occurring 8 years after she received radiation for tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma.
非典型血管病变(AVL)和血管肉瘤(AS)是已知在放射治疗后出现的病变。这些病变在大体和组织学图像上可能会有重叠,有时两者之间的区分极具挑战性。它们最常见于放射治疗后的乳腺区域。我们报告了首例发生在一名51岁女性喉部的放射后AVL/AS独特病例,该病例发生在她因扁桃体鳞状细胞癌接受放疗8年后。
