Abstract :
Arteriovenous fistula is the best permanent access for hemodialysis.
Swelling and pain due to thrombosis and infection is common
at fistula site. Angiosarcoma is one of the rare but important
differential diagnoses of these signs. We present a patient on
continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis with angiosarcoma at
the arteriovenous fistula site.
