Abstract
- Angiosarcoma is a rare and highly malignant vascular tumor of endothelial cell origin. Cutaneous angiosarcoma usually occurs on the scalp and face of the elderly person, frequently in the sixth and seventh decade. Unusually, we experienced a case of angiosarcoma of the scalp in a 12-year-old girl. The patient had a solitary, well-demarcated 0.7X0.7cm sized, non-tender, blue-violaceous to gray-black colored, crusted papule on the vertex for 2 months. She was treated by wide surgical excision only but no recurrence in the last eight years after excision.
