angiosarcoma

We report a 49-year-old Southeast Asian woman diagnosed with metastatic primary right atrial angiosarcoma (PCA) and the difficulties encountered in this diagnosis and its subsequent management. Diagnosis of PCA is often delayed due to non-specific clinical presentation of patients. These tumours often present once metastatic spread has occurred, restricting treatment options and leading to very poor prognosis.

Ewing sarcoma usually develops in the second decade of life as a primary osseous malignancy. An extraskeletal primary source of this condition from the lung parenchyma is extremely uncommon. We report the case of a 33-year old man with primary Ewing sarcoma of the lung diagnosed upon postsurgical histological examination. Initially presenting with unilateral pleural effusion, our patient underwent various investigations before final diagnosis.
