Description
Summary:Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the endothelial cells of blood vessels or lymphatics. We report a case of a 46-year-old male patient with a kidney transplant who developed epithelioid angiosarcoma at the site of a nonfunctioning arteriovenous fistula in the antecubital fossa 3 years after renal transplantation. The patient had skin, soft tissue, and bone metastasis on presentation. He died of systemic metastasis with respiratory failure.
