Angiosarcoma of bone is a rare high-grade malignant vascular tumor. The literature regarding treatment and outcome of patients with this tumor is limited. We performed a two-institutional retrospective study to analyze treatment and survival of patients with angiosarcoma of bone. We reviewed patients with the histological diagnosis of primary angiosarcoma of bone treated from 1980 to 2009. Demographic details, histology, treatment and survival were reviewed. 38 men, 22 women (median age 54 years). Most lesions occurred in the femur and the pelvis. Metastatic disease at presentation was diagnosed in 24 patients (40%). Forty-three patients underwent surgery, with 30 of them achieving surgical complete remission (SCR). Radiotherapy (RT) was applied to 17 patients, and chemotherapy (CT) to 13/35 and 15/22 patients with localized and metastatic disease, respectively. The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 20%: 33% for patients with localized disease and 0% for metastatic patients. Higher 5-year OS was reported for patients who achieved SCR (46%) than for those who did not (0%). In non-metastatic patients, a trend towards improved survival was observed after SCR and adjuvant chemotherapy based on cisplatin, doxorubicin and ifosfamide. Fifteen patients received chemotherapy for metastases. Two RECIST partial responses of 13 evaluable patients were documented (paclitaxel [n=1] and doxorubicin [n=1]). Stable disease was observed in 2 patients. Complete surgical resection is essential for outcome. Survival of patients with metastatic or unresectable disease is very poor. Activity of taxanes and anthracycline was observed in the metastatic setting and merits further evaluation.
