Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular tumor, primarily affecting elderly males on the scalp and face, often leading to lung metastases that appear as thin-walled cysts.
- A case study of a 78-year-old male with acute chest pain revealed bilateral pneumothorax due to cystic metastases from a neglected facial angiosarcoma.
- This situation highlights the importance of CT imaging for diagnosis and the need to consider angiosarcoma metastases as a serious possibility when dealing with pneumothorax in elderly patients.
Lacrimal sac tumors are rare with epithelial tumors being the most common type. Melanoma of the lacrimal sac is an exceptional finding. Few cases have been reported so far in the literature.
