ABSTRACT
Angiosarcomas developing in unusual sites such as the small bowel are rare, and fewer than 65 cases have been reported in the literature. They are not uncommonly associated with a known eliciting factor. Thus, among hitherto described cases of angiosarcoma of the small bowel, 16 were radiation-induced. One additional example of ileal post-irradiation angiosarcoma (PRA) in a 72-year-old female patient with a past history of uterine leiomyosarcoma is herein reported as a reminder of this causal association. The morphologic and immunohistochemical clues leading to the correct diagnosis of PRA of the small bowel and the differential diagnostic problems are discussed; a comprehensive review of the literature has also been performed with a focus on survival.
