title: [Angiosarcoma of the scalp].
abstract: A 57-year-old male patient suffering from angiosarcoma of the scalp is reported. The clinical picture was highly characteristic, showing an ulcerated reddish tumour without clear demarcation. However, the histological characterization was more difficult and a final diagnosis could only be established with immunohistochemistry using antibodies directed against several endothelial cell antigens.
