This case study highlights successful radioimmunotherapy and radiotherapy for lymphedema-associated angiosarcoma, a rare cancer. Photon radiation demonstrated long-lasting efficacy, suggesting its potential as a primary treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lymphedema-associated angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive vascular tumor.
  • Recurrence is common, posing treatment challenges.

Observation:

  • An 80-year-old woman presented with recurrent multilocalized lymphedema-associated angiosarcoma of the right arm.
  • Histopathology confirmed lymphangiosarcoma with pathological endothelial cell proliferation.

Findings:

  • Complete remission was achieved with radioimmunotherapy (54 Gy/Interferon beta).
  • A subsequent recurrence was successfully treated with radiotherapy alone.
  • No local recurrence or metastasis was observed during a 3-year follow-up.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the long-lasting efficacy of photon radiation in lymphangiosarcoma.
  • Further research is warranted to explore radio monotherapy as a first-line treatment for lymphedema-associated angiosarcoma.
