Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Cytopathology

Background:

  • Primary angiosarcoma of bone is an exceptionally rare malignant neoplasm.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective patient management and treatment strategies.

Observation:

  • This case presents a primary angiosarcoma originating in the cuboid bone.
  • Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology revealed characteristic features.
  • Smears showed pleomorphic, spindle-shaped cells in a hemorrhagic background.

Findings:

  • Cytologic findings were supported by cell block preparations.
  • Electron microscopy confirmed endothelial cell differentiation.
  • Rare Weibel-Palade bodies were identified, a key ultrastructural marker.
