Intracranial Invation From Recurrent Angiosarcoma of The Scalp

Angiosarcoma of the brain, either primary or metastatic is extremely rare. Moreover, angiosarcoma metastazing to the brain is also highly unlike to occur when comparing with metastases to the other organs. Thus, an ideal treatment strategy has not been established. A 67-year-old man with past surgical history of a scalp angiosarcoma underwent surgical resection of intracranial invasion. Because of wide scalp flap excision and resultant poor vascularity of the scalp flap, additional radiation was not provided. Because adjuvant therapy is impossible due to poor scalp condition, more careful but ample resection of the primary lesion is essential to conduct initial operation.
