| Abstrakt: |
Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor, with a predilection for skin in the head and neck region, although it has been described in many other locations. Its association with chronic lymphedema is well known, mainly in the setting of postmastectomy lymphedema of the arm in breast cancer patients (termed Stewart-Treves syndrome). However, angiosarcoma can appear in lower limbs with chronic lymphedema and rarely in other locations such as the abdominal wall. Herein, we present a unique case of angiosarcoma developing in the abdominal wall of a morbidly obese patient after extensive dermolipectomy. |
