Jackson K, Narkhede P, Aujayeb A. Epithelioid angiosarcoma arising from an oleothorax: An unreported case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2020;11:101166Z01KJ2020.ABSTRACT
We describe the case of a male patient with a previous oleothorax who presented with constitutional symptoms and a mass growing out of the oleothorax. Biopsies showed an epithelioid angiosarcoma. This has not been previously reported. Oleothorax is a historical treatment for tuberculosis and patients can remain asymptomatic for years afterwards. Tumors can be associated with such foreign bodies and diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion and perseverance in the investigative pathways.
Keywords: Angiosarcoma, Epithelioid, Oleothorax, Tuberculosis
