Abstract
Angiosarcoma is a rare and high aggressive malignant tumor originated from endothelial cell. Angiosarcoma has four clinical types that are in the scalp and face of old age, in chronic lymphedema, in previously irradiated sites, and malignant angioendothlioma. We report one case of angiosarcoma of the scalp in a 74-year-old male patient. The patient had $4.0{\times}4.5cm,\;4.0{\times}3.5cm$ sized, localized, asymmetric several dome-shaped nodule and plaque with crust and ulcer on the parieto-frontal area of the scalp. We performed wide excision and subsequently covered with split-thickness skin graft. Postoperatively the patient underwent radiotherapy for prevention of recurrence and he had been followed up for 1 year without evidence of recurrence.
