title: Primary splenic angiosarcoma.
abstract: Primary angiosarcoma of the spleen is a very rare but very aggressive soft tissue sarcoma due to early dissemination. The outcome of this disease is typically dismal with a mean survival of one to two years. However, our here presented case remained uncommonly symptom-free for nine years after splenectomy alone at the early phase of the disease.
