Resumen

Angiosarcoma of the head and neck is a rare vascular sarcoma associated with high rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis and a poor prognosis. The diagnosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma can be challenging because it often presents insidiously as a bruiselike lesion or a purplish papule thatmay be mistaken for a benign lesion such as hemangioma. The tumor size is a important prognostic factor and a multimodality treatment approach is imperative for successful outcomes. This study reports the case of 58-years-man with angiosarcoma of the scalp aggressive and a poor prognosis
