Abstract

Intimal angiosarcoma is a rare vascular malignancy, and diagnosis is very difficult due to nonspecific symptoms. There are controversial points regarding the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of intimal angiosarcomas. The purpose of this case report was to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient diagnosed with femoral artery intimal angiosarcoma. Furthermore, in line with previous studies, it was aimed to illuminate controversial points. A 33-year-old male patient, who had been operated on due to ruptured femoral artery aneurysm, was diagnosed with intimal angiosarcoma with the pathology result. Recurrence was observed during clinical follow-up, and the patient was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Since there was no response to treatment, the patient underwent aggressive surgery including the surrounding tissues. No recurrence or metastasis was observed in the patient’s 10th month follow-up. Although intimal angiosarcoma is rare, it should be considered in differential diagnosis when femoral artery aneurysm is detected. The most important step in treatment is aggressive surgery, but adding chemo-radiotherapy to the treatment should be considered.

Özet

İntimal anjiyosarkom nadir görülen vasküler bir malignitedir ve spesifik olmayan semptomlar nedeniyle tanı konulması oldukça zordur. İntimal anjiyosarkomların tanısı, tedavisi ve takip süreciyle ilgili tartışmalı noktalar bulunmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı femoral arter intimal anjiyosarkom tanısı konulan hastanın tanı ve tedavi sürecini değerlendirmek ve daha önce yapılmış olan çalışmalar doğrultusunda tartışmalı noktaları aydınlatabilmektir. Rüptüre femoral arter anevrizma saptanarak ameliyat edilen 33 yaşında erkek hastanın patoloji sonucu intimal anjiyosarkom olarak geldi. Takiplerinde nüks gelişen hasta öncelikle kemoterapi ve radyoterapi tedavisi gördü. Tedaviye yanıt alınamaması üzerine hastaya çevre dokuları da içerecek şekilde agresif bir cerrahi yapıldı. Hastanın 10. ay kontrollerinde nüks ve metastaz saptanmadı. İntimal anjiyosarkom nadir görülse de femoral arter anevrizması saptandığında ayırıcı tanıda akla getirilmelidir. Tedavide agresif cerrahi önemlidir ancak kemo-radyoterapinin de tedaviye eklenmesi düşünülmelidir .
