Key result
Angiosarcoma can mimic malignant pleural mesothelioma by presenting with predominant pleura and peripheral lung involvement.
Why the study?
Angiosarcoma can present as diffuse pleuropulmonary tumors simulating malignant mesothelioma, but recognition of this presentation is limited.
Case Report (n=2)
Angiosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tumours simulating malignant pleural mesothelioma.

May support including angiosarcoma in the differential for mesothelioma-mimicking pleural tumors; leaves open confirmation beyond this case report.
Falconieri et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Pseudomesotheliomatous angiosarcoma (n=2). Pseudomesotheliomatous angiosarcoma was evaluated on Clinical and histological presentation. Angiosarcoma may present with preponderant or exclusive involvement of pleura and peripheral lung, simulating malignant pleural mesothelioma.
