| Popis: |
Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor showing blood or lymphatic vessel differentiation, corresponding to < 2% of all sarcomas. It preferably affects elderly, with predilection for the head and neck. Diagnosis is frequently late due to the early interpretation by the patient as a benign lesion similar to ecchymosis, which explains its aggressiveness with high metastasis and recurrence rates. We report the case of an elderly man whose histopathologic diagnosis confirmed the clinical suspicion of cutaneous angiosarcoma. |
