Case Report (n=1)
Primary pancreatic angiosarcoma is a rare, highly aggressive tumor prone to misdiagnosis, with rapid progression to metastasis even after curative-intent surgery.
Bozkurt et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Pancreatic angiosarcoma (n=1). Total pancreatectomy, splenectomy and portal vein reconstruction was evaluated on Patient survival. A 67-year-old man with primary pancreatic angiosarcoma underwent total pancreatectomy but died 65 days postoperatively due to extensive metastasis.
