  • Title: Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the ilium: a case report.
    Author: Chen M, Zhang W, Qu J, Li L, Sun Q.
    Journal: Int J Clin Exp Pathol; 2014; 7(12):9099-103. PubMed ID: 25674295.
    Abstract:
    Bone epithelioid angiosarcoma (EA) is rare and characterized by large, mildly to moderately pleomorphic epithelioid cells, with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei, and prominent nucleoli. The tumors may arise in various locations in bone and the patients may present with unifocal or multifocal osseous disease. We present a unifocal lesion case of EA of the ilium in a 62-year-old woman. A needle biopsy of the ilium was performed and first diagnosed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma based on CKpan and CK18 immunopositivity. The tumor was treated initially with curettage followed by chemotherapy. The final diagnosis on the surgical specimen was epithelioid angiosarcoma.
