Key result
Chest CT reveals extreme diversity and pleomorphism of atypical pulmonary metastases in neck angiosarcoma.
Why the study?
Two or more atypical forms of pulmonary metastases may occur concomitantly in angiosarcoma, presenting extreme diversity on imaging.
Case Report (n=1)
Angiosarcoma pulmonary metastases can present with extreme pleomorphism on chest CT.
Recognizing pleomorphic atypical pulmonary metastases may refine differentials in angiosarcoma; single case leaves open generalizability and clinical impact.
A distinctive feature of some angiosarcomas is that two or more atypical forms of pulmonary metastases may be detected concomitantly. In this case report, we present a 37-year-old man diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the neck, with extreme diversity of lung metastases on chest computed tomography (CT). We analyzed CT features of metastases and discussed possible reasons for their pleomorphism, as well as clinical implications of these findings.

Adzic et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Angiosarcoma with pulmonary metastases (n=1). Chest computed tomography (CT) was evaluated on CT features and pleomorphism of pulmonary metastases. Chest computed tomography of a 37-year-old man with angiosarcoma of the neck revealed an extreme diversity and pleomorphism of concomitant atypical pulmonary metastases.
