Epithelioid Angiosarcoma of Masticator Space: A Case Report of CT Manifestations and Follow-Up
Epithelioid Angiosarcoma (EA) is a special subtype of angiosar coma, which is common in skin and connective tissue, and its in cidence reaches the peak in men aging over 60 years old. EA oc curring in masticator space was very rarely reported. We reported EA in a young woman with a lesion located in the right masticator space. Plain Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed irregular blocky soft tissue density shadow with unclear boundary. After enhancement, the lesions showed obviously uneven enhancement in the arterial phase, while the lesions showed uneven decreased enhancement in the venous phase, and there was necrotic tissue with no enhancement.
