title: [Primary angiosarcoma of the thyroid gland. Presentation of a clinical case].
abstract: A case of angiosarcoma of the thyroid, the most rare tumor of this gland, is discussed. The existence of this form has been denied by many authors, but recent immunochemical analyses (endothelial Factor VII related antigen) and electron microscopy (Weibel-Palade bodies) confirm definitively its vascular origin.
