Conclusion

Angiosarcomas are rare, aggressive tumors of vascular origin. They occur most often in areas of long-term sun-exposed skin in elderly patients, patients with longstanding lymphedema, or patients who have completed radiation therapy. The prognosis is poor and radical surgery is often required. In addition, radiation or chemotherapy may be considered as therapeutic options.
