ABSTRACT
Angiosarcomas are rare, but aggressive malignancies. Reports of brain metastasis are uncommon. In this report, we describe the clinical features of a 62 year-old man who presented with hemoptysis and right-sided weakness. Chest computed tomography showed multiple ill-defined part solid nodules in both lungs and brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple hemorrhagic bran masses. The patient underwent whole body proton emission tomography to identify biopsy site and showed multiple bone lesions. A right acetabulum biopsy in confirmed the diagnosis of angiosarcoma.
