Angiosarcoma is a rare complication of both functioning and nonfunctioning fistulas. It is an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma arising from vascular or lymphatic endothelial cells. We report a case of angiosarcoma from a nonfunctional fistula in a kidney transplantation patient receiving immunosuppressive drugs. The patient had presented with arm pain mimicking a thrombosed arteriovenous fistula.
血管肉瘤是功能性和非功能性瘘管的一种罕见并发症。它是一种起源于血管或淋巴管内皮细胞的侵袭性软组织肉瘤。我们报告一例接受免疫抑制药物治疗的肾移植患者因非功能性瘘管引发血管肉瘤的病例。该患者表现为手臂疼痛,类似血栓形成的动静脉瘘。
