Primary angiosarcoma of the Pancreas - A case Report and review of the literature

Pancreatic angiosarcomas are very rare and prone to misdiagnosis. The formation of a more demarcated but high-grade tumour with necrosis is a feature that distinguishes angiosarcomas from ordinary carcinomas of this organ. Pathologic diagnosis is also highly challenging closely resembling undifferentiated carcinomas. Angiosarcomas are highly aggressive when they occur in the pancreas. Prompt diagnosis at an early stage is crucial as surgery with curative intent serves as the primary treatment approach.
