| Popis: | A 80-year-old woman presented with a spontaneously bleeding wound on her scalp. The diagnosis of angiosarcoma was made based on histopathological examination of the second biopsy 1 month later. At that time, a large hematoma was present on the scalp and forehead with two bleeding erosions and numerous small blue-black nodules as well as a right cervical lymphadenopathy. The patient was treated by wide-field electron-beam radiotherapy, which showed no effect. The particularly aggressive evolution of this angiosarcoma led to death within less than 2 months. |
