Abstract
PURPOSE: To describe a case of primary eyelid angiosarcoma and review the literature to emphasize aware of this rare disease. CASE REPORT: We report a further case which is the first Chinese primary eyelid angiosarcoma in the literature. A 76-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of a painless lesion on her left eyelid. The patient finally proved to be angiosarcoma on histopathologic and be treated with complete surgical excision with a frozen section margin control. With a 6 months follow-up, we haven't found any symptoms of recurrence or metastasis. CONCLUSIONS: Cutaneous angiosarcoma with eyelid is a rare, soft-tissue sarcoma of endothelial cell origin that is aggressive malignancy and has a poor prognosis. In our case report, the patient was treated with complete surgical excision with a frozen section margin control, and a 6 months follow-up, we haven't found any symptoms of recurrence or metastasis.
