Angiosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma, namely when it presents as a primary intradural extramedullary spinal neoplasm, with only one case of non-vertebral origin reported in the literature. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman with neurological symptoms of paraparesis and constipation who underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that revealed a well-demarcated, predominantly homogeneous, intensely enhancing intradural extramedullary lesion in T2-weighted images. Histology, immunohistochemistry, and genetics of the lesion showed an angiosarcoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare malignant tumor found in tissues outside of bone marrow, with primary pulmonary plasmacytoma (PPP) being particularly uncommon and diagnosed through biopsy.
  • A 65-year-old woman experienced chronic cough and was hospitalized with acute chest pain, where imaging revealed extensive lung inflammation.
  • The diagnosis was confirmed via bronchoscopy, leading to hormone anti-inflammatory treatment; however, the patient was lost to follow-up, emphasizing the need for awareness and biopsy in similar cases to ensure proper diagnosis and management of PPP.
