Angiosarcoma (AS) is a rare malignant tumor of vascular or lymphatic epithelium, typically presenting as a bruise-like patch over the face or scalp in the seventh-ninth decades. Here, we report a case of cutaneous AS (cAS) in a 51-year-old male patient who presented with a cauliflower-like growth in the groin with skin-colored shiny flat-topped satellite papules in the surrounding areas, some of which were umbilicated. Based on examination, the patient was considered retro positive and the following differentials were considered: Buschke-Lowenstein tumor with giant molluscum, Kaposi sarcoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Histopathological examination suggested the diagnosis as AS, which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry that was positive for CD31 and CD34. The report highlights the unusual site and clinical presentation of cAS.
血管肉瘤(AS)是一种罕见的血管或淋巴管上皮恶性肿瘤,通常在70至90岁时表现为面部或头皮上类似瘀伤的斑块。在此,我们报告一例51岁男性皮肤血管肉瘤(cAS)病例,该患者腹股沟出现菜花状肿物,周围有肤色、有光泽的扁平顶卫星状丘疹,部分呈脐凹状。经检查,患者被认为逆行阳性,并考虑了以下鉴别诊断:伴有巨大软疣的Buschke-Lowenstein肿瘤、卡波西肉瘤和鳞状细胞癌。组织病理学检查提示诊断为AS,免疫组化CD31和CD34阳性得以证实。该报告强调了cAS不寻常的发病部位和临床表现。
