Turk J Gastroenterol. 2007 Dec;18(4):272-5.

Abstract

Primary angiosarcoma of the spleen is a rare neoplasm with a very poor prognosis. We present computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of a 49-year-old man with primary splenic angiosarcoma and liver metastasis. The literature on primary splenic angiosarcoma is reviewed and imaging variability of this rare tumor is discussed.
