Abstract :
Angiosarcoma is a rare tumor, developed
from the endothelium of blood or lymphatic vessels with
exceptional pleural localization. The clinical and
radiological aspects are not very specific; its diagnosis is
essentially histological. We report a case of pleural
angiosarcoma in a 43-year-old woman with history of
chest pain dry cough, dysnpea and weight loss,
Histological study of the pleural biopsy confirmed the
diagnosis. Through this observation, we propose a focus
on this extremely rare location with a poor prognosis
