Adrenal angiosarcoma, a rare epithelioid tumor, can be mistaken for metastatic cancer. Diagnosis requires careful examination of vascular differentiation and endothelial markers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • Adrenal angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor.
  • Epithelioid angiosarcomas can mimic other malignancies, particularly metastatic carcinomas.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with adrenal angiosarcoma incidentally during staging for prostate adenocarcinoma.
  • Literature review revealed 22 previously reported cases, all of the epithelioid type.
  • The epithelioid morphology and expression of epithelial markers can lead to misdiagnosis.

Findings:

  • Adrenal angiosarcomas exhibit epithelioid features.
  • These tumors frequently express epithelial immunohistochemical markers.

  • Diagnostic confusion with adrenal carcinomatous metastases is common.

    • Implications:

    • Distinguishing adrenal angiosarcoma from metastatic disease is critical.
    • Thorough screening for vascular differentiation is essential.
    • Immunohistochemistry utilizing endothelial markers aids in definitive diagnosis.
