Key result
Rare angiosarcoma presents with hemoptysis and right-sided weakness revealing multiple hemorrhagic brain and bone metastases.
Why the study?
Angiosarcomas are rare, aggressive malignancies, and reports of brain metastasis are uncommon.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case report highlights a rare presentation of angiosarcoma with hemorrhagic brain metastasis.
May prompt consideration of angiosarcoma in hemoptysis with focal weakness; extends sparse case reports on its metastases but leaves optimal strategies open.
Angiosarcomas are rare, but aggressive malignancies.Reports of brain metastasis are uncommon.In this report, we describe the clinical features of a 62 year-old man who presented with hemoptysis and right-sided weakness.Chest computed tomography showed multiple ill-defined part solid nodules in both lungs and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple hemorrhagic bran masses.The patient underwent whole body proton emission tomography to identify biopsy site and showed multiple bone lesions.A right acetabulum biopsy in confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma.

Lee et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Angiosarcoma with hemorrhagic brain metastasis (n=1). Angiosarcoma was evaluated. A rare case of angiosarcoma presenting with hemoptysis and right-sided weakness was found to have multiple hemorrhagic brain metastases and bone lesions.
