Pseudolymphomatous infiltrates associated with angiosarcoma are a rarely reported phenomenon. Recognition of this reactive process is critical to making an accurate diagnosis, both in diagnosing the angiosarcoma and in avoiding an incorrect diagnosis of lymphoma. Here, we present a novel histopathologic pattern, angiosarcoma with a prominently intravascular atypical lymphoid component, mimicking intravascular T-cell lymphoma. Interestingly, serial biopsies in this case revealed a progressive increase in lymphocyte density and intravascular component over time. Despite prior reports of improved progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with pseudolymphomatous angiosarcoma, this patient showed rapid disease progression.
假性淋巴瘤浸润与血管肉瘤相关,是一种罕见的报道现象。认识到这种反应性过程对于做出准确的诊断至关重要,包括诊断血管肉瘤和避免误诊为淋巴瘤。在这里,我们提出了一种新的组织病理学模式,即表现出明显血管内异型淋巴样成分的血管肉瘤,类似于血管内 T 细胞淋巴瘤。有趣的是,该病例的连续活检显示随着时间的推移淋巴细胞密度和血管内成分逐渐增加。尽管先前有报道称假性淋巴瘤性血管肉瘤患者的无进展生存期和总生存期有所改善,但该患者的疾病进展迅速。
