Epithelioid angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor. It is generally a secondary tumor and the preferred sites of such metastases are the heart, pericardium, lung, breast, liver, spleen, bone, and brain. In rare cases the lung has been described as the primary site. The prognosis of this neoplasm is extremely poor. We report a case of epithelioid angiosarcoma with multiple bilateral lung infiltration, bone metastasis, and metastasis of the lamina propria of a tubulovillous adenoma of the colon.

Composite hemangioendothelioma comprises permutations of different histological patterns few of which have been found to have specific genetic alteration and immunohistochemical expression. It comprises retiform or epithelioid hemangioendothelioma-like areas, with a variable proportion of hemangioma or low-grade angiosarcoma-like areas. It was found to express neuroendocrine markers and was seen to have a worse prognosis in recurrence or distant metastasis.
