A distinctive feature of some angiosarcomas is that two or more atypical forms of pulmonary metastases may be detected concomitantly. In this case report, we present a 37-year-old man diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the neck, with extreme diversity of lung metastases on chest computed tomography (CT). We analyzed CT features of metastases and discussed possible reasons for their pleomorphism, as well as clinical implications of these findings.
