: Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of vascular endothelial origin. Pulmonary metastasis can lead to potential life-threatening complications, such as bleeding and pneumothorax.: We report on a 82-year-old male with major hemoptysis, recurrent hemopneumothorax and cystic lung lesions.: Although initial diagnostic findings were misleading, thoracoscopic exploration revealed pulmonary and pleural metastasized angiosarcoma.: The presence of hemoptysis or (recurrent) hemopneumothorax associated with cystic lung lesions should alert the clinician of possible pulmonary metastasized angiosarcoma.
血管肉瘤是一种罕见且侵袭性强的血管内皮源性肿瘤。肺转移可导致潜在的危及生命的并发症,如出血和气胸。
我们报告了一例 82 岁男性,主要表现为大咯血、反复血胸和气胸及囊性肺病变。
尽管最初的诊断结果具有误导性,但胸腔镜检查显示出肺和胸膜转移的血管肉瘤。
咯血或(反复)血胸伴有囊性肺病变的存在应提醒临床医生可能存在肺转移的血管肉瘤。
