  • Title: Splenic angiosarcoma metastasis to the brain.
    Author: Plotnik AN, Schweder P, Tsui A, Kavar B.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2008 Aug; 15(8):927-9. PubMed ID: 18411053.
    Abstract:
    Angiosarcoma is a rare primary non-haematolymphoid malignant neoplasm of the spleen. This neoplastic process has a poor prognosis, with disease usually widespread by the time of presentation. In the literature there has been only six case reports of cerebral metastasis from splenic angiosarcomas. We report a 61-year-old woman who presented with a right occipital metastasis of a splenic angiosarcoma, 5 years after initial diagnosis, treated by stereotactic occipital craniotomy and resection of metastasis.
