ABSTRACT
Angiosarcoma is a rare type of soft tissue cancer with several clinical presentations and a poor prognosis. We present a case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted due to anemia and fatigue. The patient had undergone an endovascular repair (EVAR) of a 9 cm infrarenal aneurysm of the abdominal aorta two months ago. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen on admission indicated a Type-II endoleak and a large hematoma of the left psoas muscle with multiple sites of intramuscular extravasation. Osseous metastases were found at the head of the left femoral head and at the iliac bones. A CT guided biopsy of the femoral head revealed an angiosarcoma of unknown primary site a few days after the patient had died from intra-alveolar hemorrhage caused by lung metastases.
