title: Angiosarcoma of the scalp: case report and literature review.
abstract: Angiosarcoma of the scalp is a rare lesion and generally has a poor prognosis, but it may be controlled by wide surgical ablation, local lymph-node excision and perhaps palliated by adequate radiotherapy. The author describes a 52-year-old woman with this condition who underwent multiple surgical procedures over a 16-year period. He also reviews the literature on the subject.
