Рulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma: a case report

[Notes from practice]
Boleslav Levitan; Tatyana Kasyanova; Elena Mikhailovna Lipchanskaya; Natalia Nikolaevna Mochalova;

Primary pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma is an extremely rare condition with a rapidly progressive course and poor prognosis. Currently, there is no standard treatment regimen for pulmonary angiosarcoma. The primary treatment for this type of cancer is radical surgery followed by chemotherapy. The article focuses on a 5-year follow-up in a 38-year-old patient with pulmonary epithelioid angiosarcoma. Since the regional lung resection, the patient has received chemotherapy with a positive effect for more than four years. Every three months, the patient undergoes positron emission tomography (PET) / computed tomography of the chest and internal organs to assess the disease course. A sustained absence of PET signs of tumor metabolic activity has been noted. The patient’s condition is satisfactory. He leads a relatively active lifestyle
