Abstract:
Background: Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of vascular endothelial origin. Pulmonary metastasis can lead to potential life-threatening complications, such as bleeding and pneumothorax.Methods: We report on a 82-year-old male with major hemoptysis, recurrent hemopneumothorax and cystic lung lesions.Results: Although initial diagnostic findings were misleading, thoracoscopic exploration revealed pulmonary and pleural metastasized angiosarcoma.Conclusion: The presence of hemoptysis or (recurrent) hemopneumothorax associated with cystic lung lesions should alert the clinician of possible pulmonary metastasized angiosarcoma.
