[Multifocal epithelioid angiosarcoma of bone with lung metastases]

Angiosarcoma is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that may arise from vascular or lymphatic tissue. Bone primary angiosarcoma is extremely rare, representing less than 1% of all angiosarcomas. It́s a very aggressive neoplasm and patients have metastatic disease at initial diagnosis in a large percentage of cases. On radiographs, these lesions are usually aggressive osteolytic lesions, commonly with soft-tissue mass extension, and tumoral enhancement on CT or MR imaging. The appearance of the bone scan is variable, describing studies with tracer uptake or low uptake. These tumours are more often found in the long bones, but spinal involvement has been reported in 10% of patients. There are a few reports in the literature of bone angiosarcoma with lung metastases. We present a patient with multifocal epithelioid angiosarcoma (spine and ribs) and multiple lung metastasis, evidenced by CT and conventional bone scintigraphy, with a fast growth.
