Metastatic angiosarcoma of the ovary.
A case of metastatic angiosarcoma of the ovary, complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation, is described. The tumour was diagnosed by histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical studies. Angiosarcoma of the ovary, although extremely rare, appears to be a highly malignant neoplasm with an aggressive course and effective therapy is unknown.
