Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of soft tissue. Because angiosarcoma originates from endothelial cells, it can occur in any organ and shows aggressive clinical features. Most commonly, angiosarcoma initially presents as a cutaneous lesion. Lung metastasis from scalp angiosarcoma can develop pneumothorax. We report a case of multiorgan involvement of an angiosarcoma, including the scalp, initially presenting with hydropneumothorax. Immunohistochemistry analysis of the cells obtained from the study confirmed the pleural invasion of the angiosarcoma.
血管肉瘤是一种罕见的软组织恶性肿瘤。由于血管肉瘤起源于内皮细胞,它可发生于任何器官,并表现出侵袭性的临床特征。最常见的情况是,血管肉瘤最初表现为皮肤病变。头皮血管肉瘤发生肺转移可导致气胸。我们报告一例血管肉瘤多器官受累的病例,包括头皮,最初表现为血气胸。对该研究获得的细胞进行免疫组织化学分析证实了血管肉瘤的胸膜侵犯。
