Abstract
Primary angiosarcoma of the spleen is an extremely rare malignancy. Splenic angiosarcoma is difficult to diagnose, and treatment is often challenging. The prognosis is dismal, with a mean survival of less than 1 year. Currently, no standard treatment methods have been established. Anecdotal reports suggest that early diagnosis and prompt splenectomy followed by cytotoxic chemotherapy can be effective treatment modalities. We report a case of rapidly progressing primary splenic angiosarcoma with multiple liver and bone metastases and a fatal hemorrhagic outcome.Entities:
