Abstrakt: The article presents a case study of a 79-year-old woman with a small cutaneous lesion on the left parietal scalp who did not respond to conventional management, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical excision. She was diagnosed with refractory cutaneous angiosarcoma . The study concludes that sunitinib may be one of the choices for treatment of angiosarcoma patients already refractory to chemotherapy agents.
