title: [Angiosarcoma of the oral cavity. A clinical case report and review of the literature].
abstract: The authors describe a case of lip angiosarcoma. Angiosarcoma occurs rarely in the oral cavity, and in a recent review of the literature only 14 cases of such a localisation were found. Angiosarcomas are tumors with a very malignant biologic behavior and the 5-year survival is very low.
