Primary lung angiosarcoma, a rare cancer, requires consideration in lung nodule diagnoses. Radical resection is vital for this aggressive tumor, even with neoadjuvant therapy, due to its poor prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Angiosarcomas are rare neoplasms typically found in the skin, liver, or heart.
  • Primary angiosarcoma of the lung is an exceptionally rare presentation.

Observation:

  • A case report details a 41-year-old patient with progressive dyspnea due to a 10-cm left lung angiosarcoma.
  • The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemo- and radiotherapy followed by surgical resection of the lung lobe, diaphragm, and lymph nodes.

Findings:

  • Histological examination revealed a mesenchymal neoplasm with myxoid features and vascular proliferation.
  • Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma.

Implications:

  • Lung angiosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lung nodules and infiltrates.
