Abstract:
Malignant vascular tumors (angiosarcoma) of bone are rare and represent a less than 1% of malignant bone tumors. The authors report a case of a patient with angiosarcoma misdiagnosed as infection, which developed adjacent to a stainless steel intra-medullary nail used for fixation of a femur fracture.
