Article Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary angiosarcoma of the kidney.
Methods: We treated a patient with primary angiosarcoma, then searched the published papers with the terms of 'primary angiosarcoma of the kidney' and 'primary renal angiosarcoma' in PubMed database, found 27 patients with detailed data, and analyzed their characters in the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Results: The primary angiosarcoma occurred mainly from 50 years old to 69 years old, predominated in male patients. The clinical presentation was flank pain and hematuria, and the nephrectomy was the mainstay of the treatment; the maximum diameter and the metastasis status at the time of diagnosis had important prognostic value.
Conclusions: The primary angiosarcoma is a rare carcinoma and lacks of specific presentation. Accurate diagnosis depends on pathological examination. Surgery is the mainstay of the treatment, but the prognosis is poor.

Primary splenic angiosarcoma is a rare, aggressive tumor, characterized by rapid metastasis and poor prognosis. Herein, we report a case of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging in a 57-year-old man with primary splenic angiosarcoma. 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT presented much higher uptake in the lesions compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT, showing better diagnostic performance.

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma is an extremely rare tumor, especially in pediatric populations (0-18 years), which often carries a poor prognosis due to vague symptoms and its aggressive nature. We present a rare case involving a 17-year-old female, illustrating the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties posed by this condition in an atypical age group. A 17-year-old female presented with a one-month history of dry cough, exacerbated when lying down, and orthopnea requiring two pillows for sleep.

Background: Primary splenic lesions are rare and often detected incidentally through imaging, biopsy, or autopsy, typically without distinct clinical symptoms. Although imaging can help differentiate benign from malignant lesions, splenic hamartomas, and angiosarcomas may exhibit overlapping features, making diagnosis challenging. This report presents a case of splenic hamartoma suspected to be an angiosarcoma based on preoperative imaging.

Primary jejunal angiosarcoma is an aggressive and rare soft-tissue neoplasm with a poor prognosis. Multiple modalities such as endoscopic intervention, radiographic imaging, and immunohistochemistry are often used to confirm the diagnosis. Only 62 cases have been reported in the literature of primary jejunal angiosarcoma, and the majority of these patients had distant metastases at initial staging.
