Angiosarcomas, originating from endothelial cells, are infrequent soft tissue sarcomas characterized by a high propensity for metastasis and an unfavorable prognosis. Splenic angiosarcoma, an exceedingly rare and aggressive neoplasm, exhibits variable clinical manifestations. The present case report describes a patient initially exhibiting anemia and bone marrow fibrosis, mimicking primary myelofibrosis, ultimately diagnosed with splenic angiosarcoma. The findings of the present case report underscore the importance of considering splenectomy for histopathological confirmation. Employing a panel of vascular differentiation markers is invaluable for establishing the diagnosis of angiosarcoma.
Keywords: anemia; angiosarcoma; myelofibrosis; spleen; splenectomy.
