Abstract
Introduction: Small bowel angiosarcomas are exceedingly rare neoplasms with unspecific symptomatology which may lead to a delay in the diagnosis and consequently a worst prognosis. Case Report: A 73-year-old male patient presented with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. The blood test showed a mild anemia. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an ileal tumor. The patient was submitted to an exploratory laparotomy and segmental enterectomy. Pathology findings described an angiosarcoma. The patient had disease progression and died after two months. Conclusion: Angiosarcomas are high grade rapidly progressive neoplasms and have a very poor prognosis with a high mortality rate. The average life expectancy is 2–6 months after diagnosis.
