Abstract
Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant vascular neoplasm, which can arise in the soft tissue of the skin, thorax, breast, digestive, female genital and urinary tracts. It poses a diagnostic challenge due to its variable morphological appearances and immunohistochemical staining pattern. We present here a rare case of a primary epithelioid angiosarcoma of the bladder, and discuss further the morphological appearances, important differential diagnoses, and specific immunohistochemical and genetic characteristics which aid in its correct diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
