This article presents data collected from 15 patients diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer who received prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), with or without hippocampal avoidance. Patient assessments included two specific questionnaires related to quality of life and an extensive neurocognitive evaluation. The evaluation covered various domains: verbal short-term memory, working memory, visuoconstructive abilities, visuospatial memory, semantic memory, verbal fluency, cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, selective and divided attention, and processing speed.

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.

Histology, immunohistochemistry, and genetics of the lesion showed an angiosarcoma.
