Abstract

Primary bone angiosarcoma is rare, and is only seen in 1% of all sarcomas. These tumours are more often found in the long bones. Primary spinal involvement has been reported in 10% of angiosarcomas.

As a result of its rarity, its pathological, clinical and therapeutic characterists are largely unknown.

We presnt the case of a patient with a primary vertebral epithelioid angiosarcoma in D8 which initially presented as dorsal pain and paraparesis, with the aim of contributing to a better knowlwedge of this rare process.

Keywords:
Angiosarcoma
Epithelioid sarcoma
Chemotherapy
Resumen

El angiosarcoma óseo primario es una rara eventualidad que representa, tan solo, el 1% de todos los angiosarcomas. Estos tumores asientan con mayor frecuencia en huesos largos. La afectación vertebral primaria se ha comunicado en un 10% de angiosarcomas.

Como resultado de esta rareza se desconocen, en gran medida, sus características patológicas, clínicas y terapéuticas.

Presentamos el caso de una paciente con angiosarcoma epitelioide vertebral primario en D8 que debutó con dolor dorsal y paraparesia con el objetivo de intentar contribuir a un mejor conocimiento de este raro proceso.
