Metastatic angiosarcoma in an ileal conduit: an unusual presentation.
The authors in this study describe the case of a patient with a history of multiple malignancies who underwent total cystectomy with ileal loop urinary diversion and presented with a lower extremity angiosarcoma on the background of lymphedema a decade later. Shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with metastatic ileal conduit angiosarcoma. The authors state that to their knowledge, this is the first case of ileal conduit angiosarcoma reported in the English literature.
