Abstract

An angiosarcoma is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm that develops anywhere in the body, and most commonly presents cutaneously in elderly white males, involving the head and neck, particularly the scalp. The neoplasm occurs only very rarely in the gastrointestinal tract. A patient was initially admitted to our hospital for treatment of dyspnea and hemoptysis. Both lungs contained multiple nodules, and a computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy was performed. Endogastroduodenoscopy used to evaluate the anemia revealed a duodenal polypoid tumor. Microscopic examination showed that the tumor was a primary angiosarcoma of the duodenum with metastasis to the lung. In addition, positron emission tomography/CT revealed metastasis to the femur and the pelvic bone. Thus, we report a case of primary duodenal angiosarcoma with metastases to the lung and bone.
