Summary
Angiosarcoma, a rare vascular cancer, can be misdiagnosed. Radiological and pathological findings must align for accurate diagnosis of this hand malignancy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor.
- Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and varied presentation.
Observation:
- A case of angiosarcoma of the hand was initially misdiagnosed as a pseudoaneurysm.
- This highlights potential diagnostic pitfalls in vascular lesions.
Findings:
- Distinctive imaging features of angiosarcoma were observed.
- Specific histopathologic findings were crucial for correct diagnosis.
Implications:
- Emphasizes the critical need for radiological-pathologic concordance.
- Accurate and timely diagnosis of angiosarcoma is vital for patient outcomes.

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...
