Angiosarcoma is a malignant proliferation of vascular and lymphoendothelial origin. In terms of pathology outlines, this entity may resemble other growths derived from blood vessels. Reactive angioendotheliomatosis, an intravascular proliferation, is frequently hard to discern histologically from angiosarcoma. In this study, we outline a case initially presenting with features supporting reactive angioendotheliomatosis. Clinical progression and inconclusive histopathology raised suspicion, and further investigation was decided. Computed tomography imaging revealed a large retroperitoneal tumor, and subsequent surgery with additional histological examinations of the excised mass and cutaneous samples was performed, along with immunohistostaining. As a result, diagnosis and prognosis pointed to an entirely different direction.
血管肉瘤是一种起源于血管和淋巴管内皮的恶性增殖性疾病。就病理概况而言,该实体可能类似于其他源自血管的肿瘤。反应性血管内皮瘤病是一种血管内增殖性疾病,在组织学上常常难以与血管肉瘤区分开来。在本研究中,我们概述了一例最初表现为支持反应性血管内皮瘤病特征的病例。临床进展和不确定的组织病理学引发了怀疑,于是决定进行进一步调查。计算机断层扫描成像显示有一个巨大的腹膜后肿瘤,随后进行了手术,并对切除的肿块和皮肤样本进行了额外的组织学检查,同时进行了免疫组织化学染色。结果,诊断和预后指向了一个完全不同的方向。
