CASE REPORT Successful Treatment of a Rare Massive Dabska Tumor.
Eplasty 2013
OBJECTIVE: The Dabska tumor is a rare low-grade angiosarcoma first described in 1969 by Maria Dabska. Approximately 30 cases of varying presentations have been reported since its initial description.
METHODS: We describe a case of a 23-year-old woman presenting with a massive recurrent left flank hemangioendothelioma, at final resection diagnosed to be an endovascular papillary angioendothelioma (Dabska tumor). The sheer size of the tumor necessitated reconstructive surgery.
RESULTS: Successful abdominal reconstruction after radical resection of a Dabska tumor was achieved using local fasciocutaneous-type flaps.
CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing reconstructive surgery following resection of an abdominal Dabska tumor.
