Abstract

A case of angiosarcoma of the colon is reported. The tumor developed in the fibrous capsule of a retained sponge that was lost 25 years earlier during a gynecologic surgical procedure. The postoperative course was dominated by a fatal consumptive thrombohemorrhagic disorder. Angiosarcoma associated with a retained foreign body and development of hemorrhagic diathesis in angiosarcoma are discussed.
