title: Treatment of primary ovarian angiosarcoma with ifosfamide and doxorubicin.
abstract: Angiosarcoma originating in the female genital tract is exceedingly rare with only 15 cases of angiosarcoma of the ovary described to date. All have been highly aggressive tumors, and no response to treatment has ever been reported. A case of primary ovarian angiosarcoma is described in which a short remission was achieved with intensive chemotherapy using ifosfamide and doxorubicin.
