Abstract: We report a case of a 56-year-old woman who simultaneously presented adrenal and spleen tumors. Computed tomography imaging revealed a 7-cm enhancing adrenal and 2-cm solitary spleen masses. The patient simultaneously underwent left adrenalectomy and splenectomy. The pathological findings revealed the presence of synchronous adrenal and spleen angiosarcomas. Remarkably, she is disease-free since postoperative 18 months.

Introduction: Primary adrenal epithelioid angiosarcoma is an exceptionally rare condition, with only 51 cases reported in the literature since 1988. Case presentation: We report a case of a 59-year-old male patient who presented with a 4-month history of left flank pain and anemia. Radiographic imaging identified a 14 cm mass lesion in the left suprarenal region, which showed heterogeneous enhancement. The patient underwent total adrenalectomy with tumor-free surgical margins. Histological sections showed features consistent with an epithelioid tumor, and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of epithelioid angiosarcoma of the left adrenal gland. Discussion: Primary adrenal epithelioid angiosarcoma is a very rare entity. It was first described by Kareti et al. in 1998. The most common presentation is an abdominal mass associated with pain. As there are no specific imaging findings for this tumor, histology combined with immunohistochemistry is the most definitive diagnostic method. Surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy is the management reported for previous cases. Conclusion: In cases of rare malignancies, interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for determining the optimal management strategy.

BACKGROUND Primary splenic angiosarcoma (PSA) is an extremely rare and aggressive mesenchymal malignancy with high metastatic potential and a poor prognosis. There are no established treatment guidelines for PSA, even for adjuvant therapy. This rare case may provide a reliable therapeutic regime for a better prognosis. CASE SUMMARY A 49-year-old female who complained of right-upper quadrant abdominal pain was diagnosed as having PSA with splenic rupture and liver metastasis. After splenectomy and liver tumor resection, she received sorafenib and camrelizumab therapy. After 15 mo of follow-up, she is in good condition, without recurrence or any identified metastasis. CONCLUSION Immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy could be a potential option for the adjuvant therapy of PSA.
