Angiosarcoma of the Superficial Femoral Artery with Distal Embolization

Abstract

Angiosarcoma of the intima is a very rare tumor. The authors report a case which involved early metastases to the periphery of the leg. Cramping pain, circumscribed clusters of cells, and gangrene appear to be characteristic and should be kept in mind, as this condition imitates occlusive arteriosclerotic disease.
