SYNCHRONOUS MALIGNANT HEPATIC AND BENIGN SPLENIC VASCULAR LESIONS -A RARE OCCURENCE

Abstract : Malignant hemangioendothelioma (Angiosarcoma) is a rare high grade neoplasm arising from endothelial cells with predilection for skin and soft tissues.Herewith we report a case of two different lesions occurring in two different visceral organs, simultaneously. A 30 yrs. old female presented with hepatic and splenic space occupying lesions. Microscopy revealed angiosarcoma of liver and haemangioma of spleen. Hepatic angiosarcomas are primary sarcomas of liver constituting 2 percentage of all hepatic malignancies. Splenic haemangioma is the most common benign tumour in that organ. But, synchronous occurrence of these lesions, have not been reported yet, and we report one such case
