Primary pulmonary angiosarcoma is a very rare vascular tumor with only a few cases reported in the literature, as pulmonary angiosarcoma is usually attributed to secondary metastasis.
Highlights the multidisciplinary management of a rare primary pulmonary angiosarcoma in a young patient.
Multimodal therapy feasible in primary pulmonary angiosarcoma; extends sparse literature but leaves standardized management open.
