title: [Hemangiosarcoma of the scalp].
abstract: Report on a 66-year-old patient with a hemangiosarcoma of the scalp which is known to be the preferred site of this type of tumor. The histologically partly benign hemangioma-like appearance contradicts the progredient clinically malignant and deleterious course of the disease which could not be stopped even by immediate radical large excision of the tumorous tissue with following plastic covering.
