Primary Jejunal Angiosarcoma.

Abstract

Primary jejunal angiosarcoma is an aggressive and rare soft-tissue neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Multiple modalities such as endoscopic intervention, radiographic imaging, and immunohistochemistry are often used to confirm the diagnosis. Only 62 cases have been reported in the literature of primary jejunal angiosarcoma, and the majority of these patients had distant metastases at initial staging. This is a case of a 51-year-old man who presented with melena found to have a jejunal mass and diagnosed with angiosarcoma with no metastases detected on initial staging. The diagnosis of angiosarcoma was confirmed with histomorphology and immunohistochemistry. Despite early tumor staging and successful small bowel resection, 6 months postsurgical resection patient later presented with metastatic. This case report highlights the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic strategy and raises consideration for earlier systemic therapy in localized neoadjuvant therapy in early-stage small bowel angiosarcoma.
