title: [Angiosarcoma after total knee prosthesis. Apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors describe the case of an angiosarcoma associated with a knee prosthesis. The appearance of a malignant tumour in the area of the implantation of a metallic prosthesis is rare. The pathogenesis of this association is still unknown. The authors make an analysis of the problem on the basis of a review of the literature.
