Primary splenic angiosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that has not been well-illustrated due to infrequency and variability in patient presentation. Limited systemic therapy regimens for splenic angiosarcoma make early detection preferable, as management focuses on monitoring for recurrence and metastatic spread or preventing hemorrhagic complications of tumor burden such as splenic rupture. This cancer, in particular, is aggressive, and metastasis is common. Here, we discuss a 68-year-old female who presented with a splenic laceration caused by an underlying primary splenic angiosarcoma. The purpose of this article is to describe a patient who presents with noteworthy clinical features and a rare complication of splenic angiosarcoma to aid in the treatment and diagnosis of future patients.
原发性脾血管肉瘤是一种罕见的癌症类型，由于其发病频率低且患者表现具有变异性，目前尚未得到充分阐述。脾血管肉瘤的全身治疗方案有限，因此早期检测更为可取，因为治疗重点在于监测复发和转移扩散，或预防肿瘤负荷导致的出血并发症，如脾破裂。这种癌症尤其具有侵袭性，转移很常见。在此，我们讨论一名68岁女性，她因潜在的原发性脾血管肉瘤而出现脾裂伤。本文的目的是描述一名具有值得关注的临床特征和脾血管肉瘤罕见并发症的患者，以帮助未来患者的治疗和诊断。
