Figures

  Fig 2. Radiograph of the right elbow showing an osteolytic lesion at the ulna (white arrow).

• 

  Fig 3. Computed tomography angiogram showing total thrombosis of the cephalic vein of the brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula. No contrast filling had occurred in the proximal radial and ulnar arteries at the distal brachial to brachial bifurcation. An eccentric filling defect was seen at the right brachial artery (white arrow).

  Fig 5. Positivity to ERG immunohistochemistry and other vascular markers such as FLI1, CD31, and CD34 (data not shown) confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma.
