Abstract:
Angiosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma that usually occurs in deep soft tissues, breast, spleen, liver, and bone. Primary thoracic parietal localization of angiosarcoma is rare and prognosis is poor. In this report, we present the CT and PET features of a patient with pseudomesotheliomatous angiosarcoma of the chest wall and pleura, which, to the best of our knowledge, have not previously been described.
