| Abstrakt: | Rationale: Angiosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor arising from vascular endothelial cells. This is an aggressive malignancy associated with poor prognosis. Angiosarcoma in the head and neck is exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 4 % of tumors. [1] . Patient Concern: We report a unique case of angiosarcoma involving the tongue underlying the diagnostic conundrum and pointers towards an accurate diagnosis. Take-Away Lesson: Due to rarity of the disease, consensus on optimal treatment approach is lacking and multicenter prospective studies would be helpful to set clinical guidelines.
