We report a case of pleural angiosarcoma in an adult male patient confirmed by autopsy and possibly associated with
pneumoconiosis
. The lesion was characterized by thickened pleura of both lungs with nodular tumors. Histologically, the tumor was composed of spindle-to-polygonal epithelioid cells that were positive for CD31, CD34, vimentin, and cytokeratin on immunohistochemical staining but were negative for
calretinin
. Further examination revealed mix-dust pathological findings consistent with the existence of
pneumoconiosis
; dystrophic ossification, anthracosis, and fractal small dust particles were observed in the lung parenchyma and a hilar lymph node. The current case suggests that
pneumoconiosis
-associated pathologies may be risk factors for the development of angiosarcoma in the pleura.
