Metastatic angiosarcoma of unknown primary site misdiagnosed as tuberculosis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 8, No. 12, Year 2020

Detailed history, physical examination, imaging, and histopathology avert diagnosis of tumors as tuberculosis in resource-limited settings, where countless diseases have common clinical and imaging presentations.
