Abstract

The authors present a case of splenic hemangiosarcoma which was encounter-a group including some 600 splenectomies. Hemangiosarcomas represent only 3% of all malignant splenic tumours. This clinical observation is of particular interest because of the extreme rarity of such cases. It is also interesting because of the conditions which have determined the intervention, as well as by the prolonged survival of the patient.

Primary angiosarcoma of the spleen: a case report and review of the literature.

We describe a 47-year-old man with shoulder pain, multiple bony lesions, and a 1-cm lesion in the spleen. T-1 facetectomy revealed a poorly differentiated malignant neoplasm. Several months after chemotherapy, multiple splenic lesions were found by computed tomography and liver-spleen scan. A splenectomy showed a malignant spindle-cell neoplasm forming irregular vascular spaces. Tumor cells were positive for factor VIII-related antigen and vimentin. This patient died of extensive metastases from this primary angiosarcoma of the spleen. Splenic angiosarcoma is a rare neoplasm that often has a cryptic presentation and a dismal prognosis.

Radical treatment of angiosarcoma of the scalp using megavoltage electron beam therapy.

Angiosarcoma of the scalp is a multifocal neoplasm that is often initially managed by wide excision and surgical reconstruction. Invariably, adjuvant radiotherapy is required to improve local control. Primary radical radiotherapy to the scalp is not well documented. The major limitation is the technical problem of treating homogeneously an extensive superficial curved volume. We describe a practical technique that can be administered with a standard linear accelerator capable of high-energy electron production. The technique uses a multiple abutted fixed field set-up at constant source to surface distance and the patient is immobilized in a custom wax helmet which also serves to optimize the electron absorbed dose in the treatment volume. Surgical excision and reconstruction is reserved for the salvage of local relapse.
