摘要
Classic angiosarcoma is an uncommon malignant neoplasm of vascular differentiation which is highly aggressive. The diagnosis is often delayed and, since the response to treatment mainly depends on the size of the tumour, the prognosis is usually poor. Here we report a 76-year-old man in whom an extensive angiosarcoma of the scalp was treated by excision followed by wide-field radiotherapy. More than 4 years later there are no signs of local recurrence or of metastasis.
