[Abstract] Objective: To explore imaging manifestation of primary angiosarcoma of bone, and to improve the diagnostic accumcy of the disease.Materials and Methods: The imaging materials of 6 patients with primary angiosarcoma of bone proved by pathology were reviewed retrospectively.Results: There were 4 cases who had a single lesion and the other had multiple lesions. Among 4 cases who had a single lesion, 2 cases were located in femur, 1 case in sacroiliac joint and 1 case in vertebral column. The imaging characteristics included the osteolytic destruction and soft tissue swelling or mass, no sclerotic rim, no periosteal proliferation. Had been misdiagnosed as giant cell tumor of bone, fibrous cortical defect of bone, non-ossifying fibroma, tuberculosis, metastatic neoplasm, multiple myeloma before operation.Conclusions: The radiologic appearances of primary angiosarcoma of bone have relative characteristics such as cortical and/or medullary osteolytic destruction, unclear borders, no hardened edge, different degrees of expansion, soft-tissue mass, with minimal periosteums reaction. In addition, multi-center lesions have guiding significance for the diagnosis of this disease.
