Angiosarcoma of serous membranes.

W T McCaughey, I Dardick, J R Barr

    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details three rare angiosarcomas of serous membranes, including peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial tumors. One peritoneal angiosarcoma, possibly radiation-induced, mimicked mesothelioma in its extensive invasion.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Angiosarcomas are rare malignant vascular tumors.
    • Serous membranes (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium) are uncommon sites for angiosarcoma development.

    Observation:

    • This report describes three distinct cases of angiosarcoma affecting serous membranes.
    • One case involved a cystic lymphangiosarcoma of the peritoneum, potentially linked to prior endometrial carcinoma radiation therapy.
    • The other two cases were hemangiosarcomas, one originating in the pleura and the other in the pericardium.

    Findings:

    • The peritoneal angiosarcoma exhibited extensive invasion into peritoneal and pleural cavities, presenting a clinical and pathological picture similar to diffuse mesothelioma.
    • The pleural and pericardial tumors were identified as hemangiosarcomas.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the diverse presentations of angiosarcomas in serous cavities.
    • Underscores the importance of considering angiosarcomas in the differential diagnosis of serous membrane tumors, especially in patients with a history of radiation.
    • Contributes to understanding the behavior and potential etiologies of these rare neoplasms.
