A rare cause of recurrent hemopneumothorax.

Acta Clinica Belgica 2019 Februrary 6
BACKGROUND: Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of vascular endothelial origin. Pulmonary metastasis can lead to potential life-threatening complications, such as bleeding and pneumothorax.

METHODS: We report on a 82-year-old male with major hemoptysis, recurrent hemopneumothorax and cystic lung lesions.

RESULTS: Although initial diagnostic findings were misleading, thoracoscopic exploration revealed pulmonary and pleural metastasized angiosarcoma.

CONCLUSION: The presence of hemoptysis or (recurrent) hemopneumothorax associated with cystic lung lesions should alert the clinician of possible pulmonary metastasized angiosarcoma.
