A 54-year-old man consulted for low back pain of 5 weeks of evolution, refractory to regular analgesics, and significant weight loss. The PET-CT revealed a retroperitoneal mass in contact with the anterior wall of the abdominal aorta. After consulting with the Endoscopy Unit, an endoscopic ultrasound-guided FNAP was performed due to the accessibility of the lesion and the less invasive nature of these procedures. The anatomopathological result was angiosarcoma of the aorta.

Case report: Paraganglioma masquerading as angiosarcoma: diagnostic-dilemma in vascular tumors.
Front Oncol
December 2024
Vascular Unit, Department of Surgery, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Cheras, Malaysia.
Paragangliomas originating from blood vessels are exceptionally rare, presenting diagnostic challenges due to their histological resemblance to other vascular neoplasms. We present a case study of a 60-year-old woman with underlying hypertension and dyslipidemia with obesity, initially diagnosed with angiosarcoma based on imaging and histological characteristics viewed via CT-guided biopsy. Intraoperative exploration revealed a lobulated tumor located between the inferior vena cava (IVC) and aorta measuring 7 cm × 8 cm, during which the patient developed transient hemodynamic instabilities.

Article Synopsis
- * A case involving a 49-year-old man revealed that initial diagnoses suggested other conditions like constrictive pericarditis, but surgery ultimately confirmed the presence of a malignant tumor after only a pericardiectomy was performed.
- * The study highlights that mediastinal angiosarcoma can present with diverse symptoms resembling other diseases, and suggests that high hyaluronic acid concentration in pleural fluid could be a potential diagnostic marker.
HEMANGIOSARCOMA IN RED WOLVES () AND GRAY WOLVES () IN HUMAN CARE: SIX CASES.

Northwest ZooPath, Monroe, WA 98272.
Wolves are commonly housed in zoological institutions and captive breeding facilities that are essential for maintaining genetic diversity and for the recovery of declining populations. Neoplasia is a common cause of mortality in wolves, but hemangiosarcoma has not previously been described. This condition was diagnosed in four red wolves () and two gray wolves () housed at five different institutions between 2008 and 2018.

Objective: Differentiating hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) and angiosarcoma (AS), the two most common vascular tumors in the liver, is important due to disparities in their prognosis and treatment. We aimed to compare clinical and MRI features of the two tumors.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients with pathologically-confirmed AS or EHE who underwent MRI using gadoxetate disodium between 2008 and 2023.
Aortic Angiosarcoma Manifesting as Multiple Musculoskeletal Metastases: A Case Report.

Aortic angiosarcomas are rare. Due to its rarity and metastatic presentation, it is difficult to diagnose metastatic aortic angiosarcoma. We describe the clinicopathological and radiologic features of a metastatic aortic angiosarcoma presenting as musculoskeletal metastases.
