title: Angiosarcoma of the scalp treated with Mohs micrographic surgery.
abstract: The idiopathic type of angiosarcoma most commonly occurs on the face and scalp of elderly persons. This rare tumor can be highly aggressive; however, if the diagnosis is made at an early stage, while the tumor is still localized and has a size that is less than 10 cm, surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case whereby Mohs micrographic surgery was used to treat angiosarcoma of scalp.
