Key result
A 69-year-old female developed rapidly progressing angiosarcoma at the site of a revision total hip arthroplasty within less than a year of the initial surgery.
Why the study?
Malignant tumors near arthroplasty prostheses are rare and debated, with only a few cases of angiosarcoma reported worldwide.

This case highlights the rare but possible rapid development of angiosarcoma following total hip arthroplasty.
Lee et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Angiosarcoma (n=1). Total hip arthroplasty was evaluated on Development of angiosarcoma. A 69-year-old female developed rapidly progressing angiosarcoma at the site of a revision total hip arthroplasty within less than a year of the initial surgery.
