Key result
Surgical resection of primary adrenal angiosarcoma in a 70-year-old male resulted in no evidence of local recurrence or metastases after 7 months of surveillance.
Why the study?
Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is an aggressive and extremely rare malignancy with a paucity of reported cases and clinical guidelines for its management.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Surgical resection of primary adrenal angiosarcoma can result in short-term disease-free survival, adding to the limited literature on this rare malignancy.
May support curative resection with surveillance in this rare tumor; extends sparse case reports but leaves management guidelines open.
Primary adrenal angiosarcoma is an aggressive and extremely rare malignancy. Given this, there is a paucity of reported cases and clinical guidelines for its management. Here, we present a case report of a 70-year-old male diagnosed with primary adrenal angiosarcoma. He underwent surgical resection with curative intent and is currently undergoing surveillance with no evidence of local recurrence or metastases after 7 months. This case report contributes to the literature by increasing our knowledge regarding this rare entity.
