Abstract
|
|
|
|
Angiosarcoma is a highly malignant vascular tumor of endo-thelial origin. Initially, a cutaneous manifestation presents as a singular or multifocal bruise-like patches on the skin, most frequently on the face, the scalp or the neck regions. On progression, the lesions become violaceous, and ill-defined spongy nodular tumors appear. Our patient was a 71-year- old man with a previous history of angiosarcoma on the right forehead and was treated with an excision and local radiation 3 years ago. Several months after the treatment, a dark brownish to violaceous patch with edema arose from the right upper eyelid and spread out to the lower eyelid. Clinically, an ecchymosis caused by trauma or other heman-gioma was suspected more than a recurrent angiosarcoma. Histopathologic examinations including immunohisto-chemical studies were consistent with cutaneous angio-sarcoma. Herein, we report a rare case of a recurrent isolated angiosarcoma without the recurrence of a primary lesion. (Ann Dermatol 26(2) 231∼235, 2014)
