ABSTRACT

Primary splenic angiosarcoma is an extremely agressive and rare neoplasm. Manifestations as bone marrow invasion and coagulation disorders have been reported isolatedly. A 26 years-old woman presented with abdominal pain; several anemia and thrombocytopenia associated to leukoerythroblastic reaction were found in the laboratory. Consumpion coagulopathy signs and microangiopathy as schistocytes, prolonged prothrombine time, decreased fibrinogen and increased D dimer were also present. Imaging findings included a lobulated, enlarged spleen, with spontanously hyperdense areas, and heterogeneous nodules with intense, irregular enhancement after contrast administration. There were hepatic and pulmonary metastases, as well as bone lesions with conspicuous vessels. Clinical features of Kasabach-Merrit syndrome and imaging vascular neoplasm characteristics suggest a primary splenic angiosarcoma. Splenectomy and bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of primary splenic angiosarcoma in metastatic stage.
