Summary
A rare case of chronic expanding hematoma transforming into angiosarcoma over 10 years is presented. This study highlights the importance of vigilant monitoring for malignancy in such rare hematoma cases.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Chronic expanding hematoma (CEH) is a rare condition characterized by gradual hematoma enlargement.
- Malignant transformation of CEH is exceptionally uncommon, with limited documented cases.
- This report details a unique instance of CEH evolving into angiosarcoma.

01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

01:24Healing II: Complications
Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
