Abstract
- We report a case of angiomatoid melanoma on the right thigh of a 59-year-old man. The histologic growth pattern of the tumor mimicked vascular proliferation, and the cells lining the pseudovascular spaces were positive for protein S-100, HMB-45, and MITF-1. The differential diagnosis is with angiosarcoma and pseudovascular adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. The case we present is the fifth reported to date.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier España, S.L.U. y AEDV. All rights reserved.)
