Abstract
An 84-year-old gentleman developed an angiosarcoma in the lateral temporal fossa 60 years after a World War II injury. The tumour resection confirmed the close spatial relationship of the tumour and a shell splinter. Analysis of the metallic composition showed no clear carcinogenic potential of the ingredients; an inflammation-related carcinogenesis seems more probable. A review of the literature revealed two similar cases.Entities:
