“…The most common risk factors include long-term exposure to radiation or exogenous toxins, chronic lymphedema, and familial syndromes [ 2 ]. Although angiosarcomas most commonly arise from the skin, they can involve any anatomic location, including superficial or deep soft tissue and viscera [ 3 ]. Angiosarcomas are aggressive tumors with significant morbidity and a high mortality rate.…”

Angiosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm showing morphological or immunophenotypic evidence of endothelial differentiation with either a vascular or lymphatic origin. It has a strong predilection for skin and deep soft tissue. Angiosarcomas of the gynecologic tract are very uncommon, and very few cases have been described in medical literature up to this day. Primary vaginal angiosarcomas with no prior history of radiation are exceedingly rare. The epithelioid subtype of primary vaginal angiosarcomas is even more uncommon. Here we present a rare case of an epithelioid subtype of primary vaginal angiosarcoma in a 47-year-old woman with no prior history of radiation who presented with pelvic pain, malodorous vaginal discharge, and a vaginal mass.

“…In general, sarcomas of the gynecologic tract are uncommon; hence the rarity of ASs in this region. Post-radiation ASs of the gynecologic tract are exceedingly rare, with only few cases reported in the literature ( Betancourt et al, 2019 ). Herein, we present a case of AS of the vagina and vulva following radiotherapy for cervical adenocarcinoma, mimicking clinically tumor recurrence.…”
