“…Most patients die within one year of diagnosis. 4 Primary gastrointestinal angiosarcoma is even rarer, and most patients have a survival period of only a few months after diagnosis. Most of them die due to multiple organ failure caused by extensive metastasis of the tumor in the late stage.…”

Gastrointestinal angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the digestive tract, characterized by a very poor prognosis, with few patients surviving more than 1 year after diagnosis. This case report describes a 71-year-old female patient with a 3-year history of intermittent abdominal pain and significant exacerbation of abdominal pain and bloating 2 weeks prior to treatment. After surgical treatment, the pathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis was primary epithelioid angiosarcoma of the jejunal mesentery. The patient refused postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and died 4 months after diagnosis due to widespread systemic metastasis. In addition, this article reviews 38 previously reported cases of primary gastrointestinal angiosarcoma, aiming to further understand angiosarcoma and thus guide clinical practitioners in providing more comprehensive treatment approaches.

BACKGROUND Cutaneous angiosarcoma (cAS) is a highly aggressive malignancy arising from the vascular endothelium. Given its rarity, there is insufficient data detailing patient demographics, management, and survival outcomes. OBJECTIVE To systematically compile published patient-level cases of cAS and to quantify and analyze data on demographics, management, and outcomes while determining prognostic indicators. MATERIALS AND METHODS Searches of EBSCOhost, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library generated 1,500 cases of cAS with individual level data available. PRISMA guidelines were followed. RESULTS Cutaneous angiosarcoma presented most often on the scalp of elderly men. Metastasis occurred in 36.3% of cases. Aggregate 5-year survival was 31.6% with the median survival of 25 months. The best 5-year survival was in the radiation-associated subtype (48.8%), whereas the worst was in the Stewart–Treves subtype (21.6%). Using multivariate analysis, gender, age group, disease subtype, treatment modality, and metastasis at presentation had significant effects on survival outcomes (p < .05). CONCLUSION The breadth of information obtained enables this study to serve as a resource that clinicians may reference when they encounter cAS.
