    Author: Saglik Y, Yildiz Y, Atalar H, Basarir K.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 2007 Dec; 73(6):799-803. PubMed ID: 18260498.
    Abstract:
    Primary vascular neoplasms of bone are rare and have a poor prognosis. Angiosarcoma of bone originates in vascular endothelial cells within bone tissue. Patients may present with unifocal or multifocal osseous disease. The most commonly involved bones are femur and tibia, followed by pelvis, vertebral column and bones of the upper limb. Here we present a 72-year-old male patient who had primary angiosarcoma of the fibula. He was treated with amputation, and the metastases that later emerged were successfully managed with chemotherapy.
