Angiosarcoma associated with foreign bodies, especially vascular prosthesis, is a very rare entity. In patients who have a history of prosthetic vascular graft placement that present with lumbar pain, osteolytic changes at radiologic imaging or the development of ascites, angiosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Despite the poor prognosis, a prompt diagnosis might give access to an adequate treatment planning, with the aim for disease control and increased survival.
