Abstract
Ultrastructural study of 1 of 2 cases of splenic angiosarcoma established the blood vessel origin of this tumor. Previously reported cases (53) were reviewed. None of the 55 patients had a history of exposure to thorium dioxide, vinyl chloride or As, which are known to be associated with hepatic angiosarcoma and other tumors. A comparison of the splenic and hepatic angiosarcomas showed that tumors not associated with exogenous material frequently involve the spleen and liver simultaneously. Tumors associated with thorium dioxide, vinyl chloride, or As commonly involve the liver with sparing of the spleen.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
