Angiosarcoma of venous origin arising in radial nerve.
A case of angiosarcoma felt to arise from a vein within the radial nerve is presented. Endovascular angiosarcoma arising in a vein is unusual and only one case of angiosarcoma in a peripheral nerve has been previously reported. Microsurgery followed by radiation has led to a 36-month tumor free survival.
