Abstract

Angiosarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor usually located in the dermis of the extremities. It rarely involves the respiratory system, or the pleura, and the prognosis is extremely poor. We present the case of a patient who had a primary multifocal angiosarcoma of the pleura with left-sided chest pain.
