Abstract: Angiosarcoma is a vascular malignancy that derived from mesenchymal cell source. It reports around 1- 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas. The incidence of angiosarcomas cannot be determined by age because of insufficient data. The Angiosarcomas are found more commonly in men in comparing to women.
Case presentation: 12 years old female presented with swelling of the left upper tibia since 3 months, progressive over time. X-Ray, MRI and bone scan were done (Fig. 1, 2). There were an Osteolytic lesion at the proximal tibial epiphysis and metaphysis with extension to epiphysis broad plate. The first biopsy was interpreted as Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma. There was no Fever, no discharge from swelling and no history of trauma. After repeating the biopsy with special immunostaining, the final diagnosis was made to High grade angiosarcoma of the bone.
Conclusion: The angiosarcoma of the bone is extremely rare, according to our knowledge, no such cases have been reported in children. This case report shows the radio-pathological correlation in regarding to understanding those cases in the future.
