Abstract
Angiosarcoma is an aggressive neoplasm that predominantly affects elderly patients. Most cases appear on the scalp and face de novo; however, trauma, longstanding lymphedema, and irradiation are predisposing factors. Management includes a multidisciplinary team and may involve a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy tailored to the patient's age and associated comorbidities.Entities:
