Abstract
The authors report two cases of aortic angiosarcomas. These cases were similar and characterized by a typical pejorative clinical course, wi th peripheric emboli and many osteolytic metastasis. Immunohistochemic al study was in favour of an endothelial origin, electronic microscopy indicated a mixed tumor with myofibroblasts and poorly differentiated endothelial cells. Differential diagnosis between angiosarcoma, leiom yosarcoma and intima[ sarcoma are reviewed.
