Abstract:
We describe a case of cavitary metastasis to the lungs from a small angiosarcoma of the scalp, in which themetastatic lesions were complicated by pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage. On high-resolution CT, the lesionssimulated the findings of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Thin-walled cavitary metastatic lesions were similar tothose of thin walled air cysts in Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Ground-glass opacity simulated the findings ofsmoke r's respiratory bronchiolitis in Langerhans cell histio-cytosis but histologically represented hemorrhageduring metastasis of the angiosarcoma.
