PIZARRO, C et al. ANGIOSARCOMA OF THE SCALP. A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2019, vol.100, n.1, pp.96-102. ISSN 1851-300X.
Angiosarcoma is an aggressive malignant tumor of the vascular endothelial cells, and its clinical presentation is varied and of late diagnosis. The present case has a female patient, aged 83 who has multiple painful ulcers in scalp, whose lack of treatment response required a biopsy, where it was found an angiosarcoma. The immunohistochemistry of the lesion was positive for CD34 and vimentin, and negative for S-100 and Melan-A. This tumor develops in older people and is highly invasive withpoor prognosis. Its diagnosis requires high rates of suspicion and todate there is not a defined treatment for this pathology.
