Abstract
Angiosarcoma of the scalp is a relatively rare malignant endothelial tumor. We experienced a case of angiosarcoma treated by wide local excision. An 85-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a tumor which had appeared 1 month before on his left temporal region. The diagnosis of angiosarcoma was made based on the clinical features and histopathological finding of the lesions on the skin by a former institution. We performed wide local excision immediately circumferentially to a distance of more than 3-5cm from the tumor margin. At present, 13 months after surgery, no recurrence or metastasis has been observed. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2003; 18: 51-55]
